ICC women's T20 World cup 2023 Discussion Thread

[Sithara007]

Shabnim Ismail is the only bowler who has shown some fighting spirit from the South African team. All the other bowlers have gone for around 10 runs per over. Since the required run rate is only around 7.6, there is no way South Africa can win this match by playing defensively. They need to bowl with an aggressive plan and get at least two wickets quickly. If Danni Wyatt and Nat Sciver-Brunt remain at crease for two more overs, then it is all over for South Africa. Captaincy from the hosts are baffling. They need to give more overs to Ismail.

The Women's T20 World Cup is almost at its end.The first semi-final match in this World Cup was played between India and Australia.Australian women batted first and collected 172 runs for four wickets.In reply, Indian women went into bat and collected 167 runs for 8 wickets.As a result, the Indians lost the match to the Australians by 5 runs.

So the miracle finally took place, and the final will be between SA and Australia now. As SA just won the semi-final by 6 runs. Outstanding bowling by Ayabonga Khaka and Shabnim. Ayabonga Khaka got 4 while Shabnim got 3 wickets. England were favorite until Nat Sciver-Brunt was bowled out and that's the turning point of the game. Big task for South Africa ahead as its not easy to beat Australia. Can they create history in the final?

It is a big upset from South Africa and the first South African team to reach a World Cup final. I missed the match and i never expected this upset as they were a heavy underdog among bookies as well and despite all odds they reached the final and i am rooting for them to come up with another upset and lift the World Cup but beating Australia is a huge task as they are dominating the Woman's game for decades.

A surprise for all the cricket fans because England was too expected in the finals but South Africa did great in balling specially in last overs.
At one point England has total control on the match but after 16 over they lost the momentum which resulted in thier defeat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I predicted that South Africa women's team would target England for 150 runs but they did better than that and they chased down England's target of 164 runs.  England played very well and were almost able to surpass the target set by South Africa but as they ran out of overs, they managed to score 158 runs.  The difference in runs between their two teams was only six runs making the match really great.  And this run score in T20 match for women team is huge and commendable

South Africa's batting style has been widely praised. They kept the wheel of the run in the last match very nicely. However, the England team was also worthy for winning. Due to some mistakes, they were finally defeated despite the control of the entire match. 166 runs in women cricket is not a small target. Although the target was no major obstacle for women in England. Aggressive batting style of the team was a big obstacle to winning that match.

Whether it is the Semifinals between India Women and Australia Women or England Women vs South Africa Women, both were really interesting as the matches were close and winning took place by a small margin. South Africa have batted as well as bowled well, if not restricting the England team chase the target is really hard thing with the best batting line-up. Shabnim Ismail bowled well and I'm happy that the host team is able to reach the finals. Lets see whether the host team is able to win the title.

I wanted to see South Africa winning the World Cup and breaking the curse they have especially with the Men's team, but to defeat Australia which is way ahead of every other team is an impossible factor because they have the best batsman and bowlers and their fielding is incredible and even if one player fails to perform the other steps up their game just like the old Australian Men's team.

Till date Australia Women have won the title 5 times, England and West Indies Women have won the title once. Atleast for this reason majority of the cricketing fans will be supporting South Africa Women team to win the final. It is true, Australia Women is in such a form, if one player fails to perform the other takes responsibility and performs. South Africa Women haven't reached the level to give tough fight, but in T20 cricket unpredictable incidents happen.

And South Africa did not score 166, they scored 164 on that match against England women teams

South Africa beat England in match on 24th feb. today South Africa match against Australia.  Australia women's team played very good cricket so this match is doubtful if South Africa can win today's match also. And the match will start after only 3 minutes.  I predict that Australia will win the toss and choose to bat first. Although the result of the toss is unpredictable, anything can happen because it does not depend on the strength or weakness of the team. But in the match, I think Australia's victory is more likely. The rest will be understood after the start of the game

All teams that made it to seminars finals were strong well deserved teams so no need to compare them , Australia Women are champions and South Africa bit of got lucky so they made it to semi final. England and India were too good in their game throughout the world cup .
Today's is the final and Australia chose to bat first .

[Sithara007]

This time, the world cup was sort of boring. There were very few upsets, apart from the semi-final match where England got beaten by South Africa. I was expecting a final between the two best teams - Australia and England, but in the end we got a one sided match between Australia and South Africa. Even the outcome of the India vs Pakistan match was as expected. And then there were no associate teams included in the edition this time. Overall, I would say that the excitement level was low. Hopefully the ICC would do a better job for the next edition (2024 in Bangladesh).

[Kakmakr]

I have to say, I was very surprised with the quality of Cricket that were played by some of these teams. I watched several of the matches and it was way beyond my wildest expectations.  

I actually lost a bunch of money in the final, because I thought the South Africans would de thrown the defending champions on the day, because they were so good in their previous matches. (It is a pity that one of their best batters, where not fit enough to play in the World Cup, they needed her for those 16 runs difference in the final)

Well, congratulations to Australia.... and thank you for a very enjoyable World Cup!

There is big change in the women's cricket. Most of the teams played really well. In every tournament the semifinals and the finals have got big expectation. To the expectation every match was good to watch and no match went one sided. In every match the fight for win lasted till the final over.

With the season of WIPL the women's cricket will have more improvement as well as supporters. The next Women's world cup will have much more competence than this year's. South Africa should've done it, but some unwanted mistakes at the last moment made the team runner up.

Well.. this is why I never bet against Australia in ICC tournaments. No matter how much poor their form is prior to the tournament, they always perform beyond expectation during the world cup. Also, the fact that they have the strongest women's franchise league in the world (WBBL) gives Australia a big advantage. You made the mistake by betting in favor of South Africa. The odds were pretty good, but that was because South Africa was not among the tournament favorites. Even their win against England was possible only because of luck going their way.

I would agree especially that both Australia's batting and bowling line-ups are currently the strongest line-up. Although my mistake was to rely on England and I lost the semi-final match. Still, I wouldn't call any of them bad, they are also the second strongest team among the ICC women's teams currently. Australia are at the top with 302 rating points despite playing six games less than them, while England are second with 282 points and South Africa are fifth with 253 rating points. I think it will be very difficult for other teams to touch the Australia team in terms of rating points as well, they are leading with many rating points not only in T20 format but also in ODI format.  To say that the Australia women's team is now a huge monster compared to other teams in the ICC.
