    Documentary: Inside England’s 2009 Women’s T20 World Cup triumph
    Jun 10 2026
    With the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup getting underway this week, Katya looks back on the last time England hosted the tournament in 2009, a tournament they won.

On-field heroes Claire Taylor and Lydia Greenway, as well as coach England Mark Lane and journalist Raf Nicholson, speak to a different sporting landscape, and a tournament that set the ball rolling for the success of the women's game. 0:15 Intro 1:13 Metro Bank Champion of Women's & Girls Cricket 1:36 Setting the scene on where women's cricket was in 2009 7:37 Double-header style tournament 10:17 Taunton group stage with Mark Lane 16:55 Claire Taylor's extraordinary form 22:31 Semi-final at The Oval 31:15 Final at Lord's 34:41 Celebrations 39:19 Legacy of the 2009 World Cup England is about to experience women's cricket like never before: bigger, bolder and better than ever.
