New Delhi.
New Delhi and Mumbai will host the semi-finals on 30 and 31 March respectively, while Eden Gardens in Kolkata will be the venue of the 3 April finals.
The women’s event will carry the total prize money of  $400,000, which is more than  122 per cent from the last edition held in Bangladesh.
 Bangladesh will start their World Cup campaign with the match against the hosts in Bengaluru on March 15.
They will next face-off England at the same venue on March 17. In Chennai, they will lock horns with West Indies on March 20. They will take on Pakistan in their last group match in New Delhi on March 24.
