ICC women's T20 World cup 2023 Discussion Thread

[BobK71]

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.

Two teams in two groups are fairly weak. None of them have won a single match. However, in India Women vs Ireland Women, 18th Match, Ireland seemed to be very strong, but in that match, India Women won by DLS method. I won't say whether Ireland would have won that match in the end but according to match statistics they were playing pretty well. In that match, India Women set a target of 155 runs whereas Ireland Women managed to score 54 runs for 2 wickets in 8.2 overs. Later Ireland Women lost by just 5 runs in the result of DLS method.

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 .

Well.. there is no doubt that the Australian and England women play a lot more matches compared to anyone else. That may be having an impact on their performance. But the question is what prevents the other boards from doing the same?  Only very recently the BCCI started giving any sort of importance to the women's game. And some of the test nations such as Afghanistan doesn't even have a women's team. Sri Lanka and Pakistan don't have franchise T2 leagues for women (although WPSL will be starting sometime this year).

The reason why Australia and England are dominating the women's world cup so far, is due to the enormous effort put in by CA and ECB over the years. Back then it made hardly any financial sense to have separate franchise T20 leagues for the women, but both the boards went ahead with their plans (and suffered monetary losses in the end). Now BCCI is where CA or ECB was 15 years ago. They have enormous monetary power and therefore there is a possibility that it may not take a long time for them to catch up with Australia/England.

Thats the point England,  Australia or even India they work on their women cricket teams and they have proper training and coaching from initial levels.  In don't this happens with other teams like Pakistan,  Bangladesh  they don't have any academy or institution for training that's the reason they ate little weak in somethings . This is not the case with men cricket of course.

India was on a good position when Jemimah Rodrigues was in the crease as she was in great form and striking the ball and was unfortunately out while trying for a upper cut above the keeper and Harmanpreet Kaur was playing really well and unfortunately was run out while dragging the bat, it was stuck on the ground and now India needs 38 runs in 24 balls as they lost another wicket, Australia is fighting back and hopefully India can challenge them.

That's the end for India journey in this world cup they played good and fought really hard till the end but Australia fielding and balling was outstanding and they didn't miss a single catch which is the reason for their victory and indias loss.
Well played Australia Women team ,with this type of brilliant performance they deserve to win this world cup too .

A very close contest and Australia women team once again make it to the final of Women T20 WC. India Women started their innings by losing three quick wickets, and that's the main reason they were 5 runs short of victory. When Harmanpreet Kaur was batting, it was evident that India would win this match, but unfortunately, he was run out in 15 overs. But full marks to Indian team for showing quality cricket.

It wasn't the day of India Women. We can say many events as the reason for the loss. India Women reached 150 runs earlier than Australia Women team. India Women reached 150 runs at 17.3 overs whereas Australia Women reached the same at 18.5 overs. Last two overs were really expensive that Australia Women team scored 14 and 18 runs whereas India scored 4 and 10 runs. This itself enough that India had missed it at several places.

The 19th over was very crucial. Jess Jonassen conceded just 4 runs in that over, and took the wicket of Sneh Rana. Till then, India had a higher chance of winning this match. They were cruising well, with 31 needed from 3 overs and then 20 needed from 2. But the over from Jonassen changed the equations, as Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana were unable to score singles and rotate strike. And when Ashleigh Gardner came to bowl the last over, 16 runs were needed for India and by then it was out of their reach. And credit should be given to Darcie Brown as well, for taking crucial wickets when India was looking set.

Anyway, the Indian women should look at the positives. Australia were always the favorites to win this match, and still they gave a tough fight. The players need to prepare for the WPL, which is about to start in one week time. WPL has the potential to completely change the face of women's cricket in India. And it can be beneficial for some of the overseas players as well.

England Women vs South Africa Women today's match will be played in a short time. Today is the semi-final match of ICC Women Cricket.  South Africa Women's team from Group A and England Women's team from Group B are going to participate. Looking at the points table, it can be seen that two teams are strong but England team has more points with 8 points and South Africa team with 4 points. In today's game I think this England team will win their bowling performance and batting both side the team is all rounder so England will definitely be accepted as a sure win in this match today.

Taking count of the positives is better than thinking of missing the opportunity. It was Australia Women, the favourites to win the T20 World Cup from the very beginning of the tournament. Giving a tough fight against them is a big thing. Maybe they've lost the tournament, but the learning will help progress. Even in the upcoming WIPL better performance can be seen.

England team has more points with 8 points and South Africa team with 4 points. In today's game I think this England team will win their bowling performance and batting both side the team is all rounder so England will definitely be accepted as a sure win in this match today.

Australia Women defeated India Women by 3 runs in the first semi-final match yesterday and advanced to the final.  South Africa Women and England Women will face each other in the second semi-final match today. The winning team will face Australia Women's team in the final. But in today's match I will favor England women team as their batting and bowling performance is stronger than South Africa women team. Earlier, England Women Cricket Team met in the finals 6 times and won four times and were runners up twice while South Africa Women Cricket Team met twice in the finals and lost both times. If they qualify today, they will face Australia in the final.

England women are expected to win this semi final as they are stronger than South Africa  but South Africa has the advantage of home ground so their is going to be a good match like yesterday's match between India and Australia.

I am looking forward to watch today's match. I hope to enjoy a very nice game between England women vs South Africa women. I don't know which team will win in today's match. I am a little worried which team to support in today's match? It would be better to bet on the support of which team.Both England women and South Africa have very strong bowling and batsmen, because of which I don't know which team will win.

WPL will surely change the face of Indian cricket. Normally I don't watch a lot of these women's matches. But yesterday, I watched the match since it was quite exciting. Australians were quite organized and they played according to their plan. On the other hand, the Indians were just the opposite. There was a lot of indiscipline (bowling extras and dropping easy catches). But the most shocking moment was the way in which Harmanpreet Kaur got out. It was very careless from her part not to land the bat. Such mistakes should not happen at international level.

Anyway, the match between South African women and England women has started now, with Proteas batting first. This time I felt that the T20 women's world cup was a bit colorless. Associate nations (Thailand, Scotland.etc) were not allowed to participate and it took away some fun. And also, the India vs Pakistan clash has become repetitive now. The ICC always place these two teams in the same group, so that they can earn good revenue from the TV broadcasters and sponsors. But since the clash between these two teams are so common, it has lost its charm.

South Africa women's team started the game a while back and they scored 44 runs in 7 overs. South Africa Women's team has been playing well so far and looks like they might be able to hit the target of 150 runs. But the England women's team is also playing fairly well so maybe this match is going to be a tight one with England and South Africa. But I am not sure that South Africa women team can score 150 runs but I can imagine that something like that can happen.

Australia Women secured the final by defeating India Women by five runs in the first semi-final. Australia Women have already secured the final as the first team for the 2023 Women's World Cup.

South Africa Women vs England Women today in the second semi-final. England Women batted first against South Africa Women and managed to score 164 runs for four wickets in the scheduled twenty overs. 164 runs in twenty overs is undoubtedly a challenging score for the opposition. If they can bowl controlled then I think England will win this match.

[rojan]

In this match between England Women vs South Africa Women, South Africa Women batted first and set a target of 164 runs. I think the runs that South Africa Women scored were the right runs to win.  If they can take the strong wickets that England Women have, then they will have a big chance to win. And if the bowling line is bad, then it will be very difficult for them to win. Now wait to see which team wins in today's match.

[Sithara007]

Unless there is a miracle, the final match will be played between England and Australia. England was set a target of 165 by South Africa, but right now they have raced to 53/0 after 5 overs. Shabnim Ismail just got the wicket of Sophia Dunkley, but South Africa needs a couple of quick wickets just to stay in the game. England do have a very strong batting lineup, with Danni Wyatt and Alice Capsey at the crease and some very experienced players such as Heather Knight, Sophie Ecclestone and Nat Sciver-Brunt yet to come.

2nd innings has started. England have also been aggressive from the start. They scored 53 runs in 5.2 overs and lost only 1 wicket. The match can now be said to be under their control. Now if they can play the normal game then they will win this match. But needless to say, the fall of another wicket will put a little pressure on their bat. At this moment, England women's team needs 110 runs from 84 balls. Even if the distance in runs is not much, they can be under a lot of pressure if they lose a few more wickets.

There is nothing wrong with target, 164 is very good target from women T20 cricket point of view but England are proving too god with bat. Apart from picking wicket, SA need to slow things down as England are going with 9.5 runs per over. Shabnim got two quick wickets and that has brought SA back in the game but they must now relax as England still are in comfortable position. Between Women cricket is getting popularity day by day.
