Since the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup started in 2009, six teams have made it to the final match. At first, only eight teams competed, but later the number grew to ten. Three teams have won the tournament, while six teams have made it to the finals. Pakistan and Sri Lanka, even though they have played in all eight editions, have never reached the final.
