The Turkish women's cricket team was scheduled to tour Austria in June 2019 to play three Women's Twenty20 International games between 8 and 10 June 2019 at the Austria Cricket Stadium in Markommannenstrasse, in the north of Vienna. [1] [2] These would have been the first WT20I games to be played by both teams, after the International Cricket Council announced that all matches played between Associate members after 1 July 2018 would have full WT20I status. [3] The Turkish team was also scheduled to play three T20 games against Austria Cricket Club Wien (ACC) on June 8th, 9th and 11th and a single T20 game against Cricket Academy Austria (CAA) on June 10th during the tour.

Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) is the shortest form of women's international cricket. A women's Twenty20 International is a 20 overs-per-side cricket match played in a maximum of 150 minutes between two of the top 10 ranked countries of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in terms of women's cricket. The first Twenty20 International match was held in August 2004 between England and New Zealand, six months before the first Twenty20 International match was played between two men's teams. The ICC Women's World Twenty20 was first held in 2009.

Vienna Capital of Austria

Vienna is the federal capital, largest city and one of nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primate city, with a population of about 1.9 million, and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants. Today it is the second largest German-speaking city after Berlin and just before Hamburg. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations and OPEC. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2017 it was moved to the list of World Heritage in Danger.
