The 2014 ICC Women's World Twenty20 was the fourth

Bangladesh and Ireland made their first appearances at the event, which was run concurrently with the men's tournament
. Australia won the tournament, beating England in the final by six wickets.

On 6 April 2013 ICC unveiled the logo of the tournament at a gala event in Dhaka. The logo uses the colours of the Bangladesh flag with splashes of blue representing the country's iconic waterways (also as being the ICC's own colour). The logo is also inspired by the unique painted rickshaws which pack the streets of the Bangladesh cities.[3] The T is made up of cricket stumps and the "0" in the T20 represents the cricket ball complete with Bangladeshi green seam while the white in the design lends an energetic, friendly and youthful feel to the logo.[4][5]
