You could have created this thread before the tournament started. Now we are discussing about it in the main T20 cricket thread. The tournament started on 10th February, and you posted this thread two days later. Anyway, better late than never. Here in India, women's cricket has grown by leaps and bounds during the last few years and there is a very noticeable increase in audience and viewership for this edition (compared to the previous one). And India's win against Pakistan definitely helps to get the media attention as well.

We are almost mid-way through the group stage. As things stand, two among these teams - South Africa, Australia and Sri Lanka may qualify for the semi-finals from Group 1. The other group is much easier, and England and India may qualify from there. Indian women recently won the T20 U-19 women's world cup. Now they will be targeting to win the senior women's world cup as well.

I wanted to open this thread before the game started but it took me some time to collect some information so I didn't open this thread in time. Although late, I hope I have been able to provide all the information on this topic. But I also know that it is better to do the work on time, after that I will definitely try to do the work on time.

If we look at Group A, we can see that Australia Women, Sri Lanka Women and South Africa Women are performing well.  They played two matches each and won both matches. But in terms of Net Run Rate, Australia Women are on top and Sri Lanka Women are second in the points table and South Africa Women are third in the points table. Australia will qualify from Group A and either Sri Lanka or South Africa will advance to the second round. 

But group B statistics is a bit easier because there India women and England women are already in good position, hope England women and India women will qualify for the second round.

At least someone thought to talk about Women world cup too. Although its a bit late but I appreciated that they have taken a step.
Although this forum will be very slow and lots of people will not find it attractive at all . . . But women too deserve a little attention

Atleast better late than never , there should be someone to promote and appreciate women cricket . The strongest teams so far are India ,Australia,  England and Sirlanka which is very good as Sirlanka is struggling alot with Reay of their matters .
Pakistan yesterday won match against Ireland in an outstanding way.

By the way, there is the official website of the ICC women's T20 World Cup 2023, where, it seems to me, everything is presented in a more convenient form to get acquainted with the course of the tournament, so it's worth adding it. https://www.t20worldcup.com/

Pakistan yesterday won match against Ireland in an outstanding way.

India, Australia and England are the heavyweights in women's game, with South Africa and New Zealand close behind. And out of all these teams, India has shown the maximum improvement in the recent past. Pakistan and Sri Lanka are noway near them, but so far in this tournament Sri Lanka has performed well. But I have a feeling that this tournament could have been more exciting, if we had a couple of associate teams, such as Thailand or Netherlands. A 10-team tournament can't be simply termed as a "world" cup.

Giving opportunity for few more teams could make the tournament even better. Another thing, those teams will have a better experience playing the tournament. India, Australia and England in good position make the final to be between Australia Women and England Women or between Australia Women and India Women team. Good improvement with Sri Lanka team and Pakistan, because Sri Lanka Women were able to win two matches and Pakistan Women able to win against Ireland Women by a great margin.

Today ICC Women T20 Cricket Match Bangladesh Women vs New Zealand Women will be held. Both the teams have zero points so the team that can perform well will be the team named in the points table.  New Zealand women's team is much stronger than Bangladesh but Bangladesh will perform better in bowling.  However, we will have to wait until the end of the game. And Shamima Sultana of Bangladesh has a very good performance in terms of batting and two batsmen in Bates and Bernadine of New Zealand are very efficient and they play a big role in terms of run rate.

The twelfth match of New Zealand women vs Bangladesh women started today.  New Zealand women won the toss and went to bat.  New Zealand women have scored 90 runs in 11 overs. They have lost 1 wicket so far.  Swarna Akter of Bangladesh women's team bowled 1 over and took 1 wicket with 12 runs. Bangladesh women are not bowling very well.  Let's see how many runs target Zeeland women give to Bangladesh women's team today.

Bangladesh women are not good enough to beat Newzealand yesterday. The mighty Newzealand scorer 189 runs by batting first and lost only 3 wickets. In reply Bangladesh only scored 118 runs and lost 8 wikcets. In the end its victory for Newzealand by 71 runs.

The match between Ireland women and west indies women eas neck to neck as both team played really good . Ireland managed to give a decent target of 129 to West Indies and they ball good but west indies won the match by 1 ball . They made 140 runs in 19.5 overs .

In my opinion the one who will make it to the finals is the South African Women, because when it comes to resistance and stamina they are strong based on my observation.

And probably the one they can compete with in the finals is the country of England. This is just my opinion, but let's see what will happen in the end of course.

I think though they may contribute towards the results but stamina and resistance are not the only things required to become successful in cricket or any sports. South Africa haven't really been on top of the game. They're not even number two in Group B, lost 2 out of their 3 matches played.

From what I can see from the Standings, I think Australia is the strongest contender for the finals at this point with 4 in 4 wins and a net run rate of +2.

But, I guess it's still too early to decide since there are still a lot of matches remaining from both sides.

India Women beat Ireland Women by five runs in a rain-hit game. If Ireland women could have scored a few more runs, victory might have been in their favor. India Woman batted first and managed to accumulate 155 runs for 6 wickets in the scheduled twenty overs. Indian women team's wicket keeper batsman Smriti Mandhana {87(56)}, scored the highest score for the team. Declining to bat in reply for 156 runs, Ireland Women managed to bat only 8 overs of 2 balls before the match was called off due to rain interruption.  They managed to collect 54 runs for two wickets in eight over five balls. Later, India was declared a five-run victory under the rain rule when play was abandoned due to rain.

The Semi final list is completed. India and Australia will be facing and it is a tough match for India as Australia is dominating Women's Cricket for a long time and India needs a miracle performance from the players to get into the final. The second Semi finals will be played between England and South Africa and England would be going into the final and my prediction is England and Australia playing the final and Australia once again lifting the World Cup.

Almost everyone have got the same thought of Australia Women and England Women reaching the final. Already Australia Women have won five world cup and the same makes people think of some other team to win it. To beat Australia Women is a really difficult. Once Australia Mens team were strong as the Women team. By that time, any matches played against Australia can be predicted earlier as a win for Australia. Now things have changed and maybe after years other countries will have their chance and now its time to wait.

Irrespective of their form, Australia have always performed well during the ICC tournaments. And this is applicable for both the men's and women's teams. And at this point, without an argument Australia is having the best players in women's cricket. Alyssa Healy, Meg Lanning, Ashleigh Gardner, Ellyse Perry and Tahlia McGrath are at an entirely different level compared to the rest of the players in women's cricket. And to Cricket Australia's credit, they started the WBBL very early, when the other boards were not even thinking about a women's league.

Bangladesh Women and Ireland Women are the two teams of the two groups who could not win any match in the group stage. In this T20 Women's World Cup, they two teams played a total of four matches and both teams lost all four matches. If we look at the last match between Bangladesh Women and South Africa Women, we can see that Bangladesh Women lost to South Africa Women by a huge margin of 10 wickets. And the group stage games of ICC Women's T20 World Cup are already over. Australia Women qualified from Group A as group champions and South Africa Women were group runners-up. And from Group D, England Women secured qualification as group champions and India Women as group runners-up.

The reason for Australia being on top is their big bash league which helps them to play more and more cricket and work on their cricket . Cricket is all about playing , teams who play more and have strong boards are good in cricket and are dominating . Australia,  India,  England  these teams have dominated in this world cup .
