Zurich Set for a Four-Team T20IW Showcase at ECN Switzerland 2026

A Swiss Stage for Senior Women’s Cricket

The ECN Switzerland T20IW, 2026 will be staged with the Switzerland Cricket Board as the federation behind the event. The competition is a T20IW tournament featuring national teams in the senior women’s category, giving the event a clear international flavour from the start.

Zurich is the host city, with Embrach Cricket Ground the venue for the tournament. The action begins on Monday 27 July 2026 and runs through to Thursday 30 July 2026, packing eight planned matches into four match days.

Four teams are in the mix: Switzerland, Spain, Jersey and Brazil. Each arrives with a very different ECN profile, and that variety gives the tournament its intrigue.

Spain Bring the Strongest ECN Numbers

Spain Women come in with the highest ECN team rating among the sides with available figures, sitting at 68. Their overall ECN ranking is 396, and they are also the most experienced team in this field by ECN event appearances, having played in 10 ECN events.

Their numbers are particularly eye-catching with the ball. Spain Women carry an ECN bowling rating of 80, the best bowling figure listed for this event. Their batting rating stands at 63, while their fielding rating is 69, giving them strong numbers across all three disciplines.

That blend of experience and rating strength makes Spain one of the main teams to track closely in Zurich.

Jersey Offer Balance and Experience

Jersey Women also arrive with a solid ECN record behind them. They have played in five ECN events, and their ECN team ranking is 472. Their overall ECN team rating is 62, placing them behind Spain in the available team ratings but ahead of Switzerland.

Jersey’s bowling rating of 77 is another standout number in the event, sitting close to Spain’s 80 and giving them a clear area of strength. Their batting rating is 58, while their fielding rating is 60, offering a balanced profile across the tournament data.

With five ECN events already in their background, Jersey bring meaningful experience into this four-team setting.

Hosts Switzerland Know the ECN Stage

Switzerland Women enter their home event with four ECN events already played. Their ECN team ranking is 650, while their overall ECN team rating is 49.

Interestingly, Switzerland’s ratings are perfectly level across the board: batting 49, bowling 49 and fielding 49. That gives the hosts a clear and consistent statistical profile heading into the tournament.

For Switzerland Women, the setting adds extra significance. The event is in their country, organised under the Switzerland Cricket Board, and played in Zurich at Embrach Cricket Ground.

Brazil Make Their ECN Debut

Brazil Women add a fresh storyline to the ECN Switzerland T20IW, 2,026. Their ECN team ranking is not available because this is their debut ECN event, and the team has played in zero ECN events so far.

That makes Brazil the new name in the tournament field. While Spain, Jersey and Switzerland all arrive with previous ECN event experience and published ECN ratings or rankings, Brazil step into their first ECN event without that existing ECN ranking marker.

What to Expect

Across four match days, eight planned T20IW matches and four senior women’s national teams, the event brings together different levels of ECN experience. Spain lead the listed ratings, Jersey bring strong bowling numbers, Switzerland host with a consistent team profile, and Brazil arrive for their first ECN tournament.

All roads lead to Embrach Cricket Ground in Zurich from Monday 27 July to Thursday 30 July 2,026, as the ECN Switzerland T20IW, 2,026 puts women’s T20IW cricket firmly in the spotlight.
