In order to provide top-notch coverage throughout the competition, the production will use an 11-camera setup for the Group and Super 6 stages, with a 14-camera setup for the semi-finals and final.

Beginning with the Super 6 stage, the coverage will introduce iHawk, a state-of-the-art lightweight ball-tracking system that uses umpires’ bodies to mount mini cameras and other high-frame-rate cameras to create ball-tracking data. This data will be displayed live on-air to improve the viewing experience. The purpose of this technology is to improve the broadcast production; it will not be included into any umpire decision-making procedures.

In addition to some younger talent, the tournament’s commentary team consists of a combination of seasoned commentators and former players. Isobel Joyce, Julia Price, Stacy-Ann King, and Marina Iqbal will offer their invaluable insights, having personally experienced the excitement of competing in World Cups. Alongside them are well-known broadcasters Raunak Kapoor, Jon Kent, Georgie Heath, Philasande Sixaba, Ben Jones, and Kass Naidoo, HD Ackerman, Ed Rainsford, and Charles Dagnall.
