Google celebrates beginning of Women's World Cup 2022.

The World Cup will see a total of eight teams battle it out over 29 days. The tournament will last until 3 April.

The tournament has been organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the world governing body of cricket, since 1973.

Due to funding difficulties, the event saw a gap of six years. However, since 2005 World Cups have been hosted at regular four-year intervals.
