Topic: ICC women's T20 World cup 2023 Discussion Thread (Read 479 times)

Their May be ill treatment of woman team in India as compared to Men team,this is not a new one to India alone.Most of the woman team of various countries still suffer this inequality.It not only in cricket team,it also applicable one to many of the sports for the woman team.This inequality is not based on the sexuality alone,this still occurring due to the attitude of the Men head on the top position.They do this to prove,the Woman are always down to the woman.Since most of the country based on the Male dominance society,this sexual inequality was common one.If they really want to prove themselves against such male dominate Society.They should improve the game very well in short period of time.

Before the game of Indian Woman cricket was not a notable one and the BCCI doesn’t support them equal to their own country Men Cricket team.I had read some news like,they are forced to use the uniform of the Mens Cricket team.This I’ll treat of their team was changed and now the salary of women cricket team of a india was same as Indian Mens team.

They need to improve their game to face the big team like Australia.Because Australian woman team was treated as equal to men team over some decades.So they had huge experience in the international games.It’s hard for Indian woman team to give equal effort like Australia and the Kaur game was the finest example for this.

That looks like a very unfortunate way to get out. It can clearly be seen that she lacked quick decision-making and presence of mind since she should totally save her wicket if she had her bat dragged towards the crease which wasn't so far from where she was when the bails went off.

BCCI will definitely need to focus a bit more on their women's cricket team if they want them to progress in world cricket. With their condition being like this, we can't really compare them with Australia, who never lack behind when it comes to the presence of mind and playing quality cricket. A very big contribution to that is probably from their cricket board which does everything to push them forward just like their men's team.

Women cricket have evolved and improved alot in last couple of years specially in Asia as they are also organising the league for development of cricket among women.
WIPL will be a great initiative and thar will have positive impact on women cricket among Asian teams .

It is not just their attitude towards franchise cricket. Indian women started playing regularly since 2020 or 2021. Till then they had a maximum of 2-3 tours per year. The quality of domestic cricket was so poor and it wasn't given any importance by the BCCI. But during the last 2-3 years, there have been a lot of improvement. But still, it will take many years to catch up with a team like Australia, who have been playing regular matches since time immemorial. The lack of experience was very evident in the way Harmanpreet Kaur got runout during the semi-final.

For namesake once after IPL BCCI conducted matches for the women's team, and that didn't gained the attention as it gets over within few days. Long back itself BCCI should've taken initiative for the launch of WIPL. Even more potential players from India could've been identified. BCCI doesn't give importance to Women's team same as that of the men's team. I believe Australian cricket board consider both the teams their national team. India Women team is no down to any of the teams, just because India lost the match by a small difference we're discussing that Australia Women were the best, if not everyone would be taking discussion in favour of India Women team.

Indian women's team may not be like them but they are not far behind. If they gather more experience and get some better players then Indian women's cricket can be like Australia in the near future. BCCI is doing its utmost for the development of women's cricket. Increasing the scope of women's cricket especially with the implementation of WIPL is going to be a breakthrough for them. Indian women are now very inspired by this upcoming league. If this policy had been taken and implemented earlier, maybe Indian women's team would have had a chance to do better in a big event like the last t20 World Cup.

Other teams need time to catch up with Australia. And the credit must be given to Cricket Australia for the excellent support being provided to women's cricket over the years. They came up with a franchise T20 league, when boards such as the BCCI laughed at the very idea. And the results are evident now. Many of the players in the world cup winning squad, including Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry and Meg Lanning have been playing top level cricket for more than a decade now. Others (say Indian women) doesn't have players with this much experience.

Women's T20 World Cup 2023 ended with a great performance. Every team tried their best. Australia once again enjoyed the moment of winning of the World Cup. Where South Africa lost by a few runs and had to accept the runners-up award with a tearful heart.

The much awaited women's T20 cricket league tournament (WIPL T20) is going to start from 4th March 2023. Organized by the Indian Cricket Board, this tournament will play a major role in the development of women's cricket as well.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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).

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 .

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

There is no way to call England as weaker team. If two good teams are to be named in women's cricket, England would be 2nd. India women's team is better than Africa women's team but they did not win against England women's team. But South Africa played well in the last match and that doesn't mean that England Women's team is weaker. I have only praised South Africa's performance. Thank you for pointing out a small mistake about the total score. South Africa managed to score 164 runs in that match.

The England women's team is not a team to be trifled with. England women played very well and scored almost equal with South Africa but England women lost by just 6 runs so you can't call England a bad team South Africa won so South Africa didn't win by a huge margin. And South Africa did not score 166, they scored 164 on that match against England women teams

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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/

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.

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

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.

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.

The main phase of ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 has already started. And 10 teams made it to the main stage.
