I am a woman, but I do follow cricket. But the catch here is that 99% of the time I watch the men's game. Women's game lack quality, especially if it involves teams from the subcontinent. Only England and Australia are having quality players in women's cricket, thanks to the investment made by their cricket boards. In India, the BCCI earns billions every year and still they have refused to organize a franchise league for women. And in other Asian nations, they don't even have a proper domestic setup for the women players.

England and Aus have invested equally in every sports for both man and woman, so its surprising that they have good woman team. While Indian men IPL is billion dollar industry, there woman team is no where to be seen in terms of performance in international matches. If there is interest of general public in India in woman cricket, then these sponsors will also rush to organize woman IPL.

There is not much viewership of cricket when it comes to woman cricket that's why there is not much gambling in this sector AFAIK. I haven't been in woman cricket betting but as you saying most of these women's matches are easily predicable, I am sure the reward for winning the bet will also be not much impressive.

There is no viewer ship of women cricket. This sports does not suit the women.
Its a gentlemen's game  Cool

At the moment I agree with you. But I think it is better to watch women's matches than to watch irregular and poor performances of Bangladesh or West Indies teams. Women's cricket is not good enough now. But is slowly improving. The next few years will see them improve and play better. Their women's team is comparatively stronger than Bangladesh's men's team.

As far as I know, the match between Sri Lanka women's vs West Indies women's team has been canceled. I don't know exactly why it was canceled. But this match was going to be the most exciting match of the day. The Zimbabwe women's team won the toss and elected to field against Pakistan. The match will be one-sided. The Zimbabwe team is very weak.

Pakistan women cricket team is playing against Zimbabwe ? I didn't knew that. Where is this series happening  Huh
I think only the Aussie and England dominate in the women cricket as the rest of the world does not have a proper infrastructure for women cricket.

Under the current ruling alliance (NDA), it is never going to happen. But it looks like in 2024 Mamata Banerjee's TMC will come to power and she is regarded by many as friendly towards Pakistan. In that case, there is a good chance that sporting (at least cricketing) relations between India and Pakistan may resume. There will be changes in the BCCI management as well. Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah are considered to be NDA appointees and they may be replaced with nominees from the Pawar-Srinivasan camp.

India has boycotted playing with Pakistan way before current BJP came into power, they are not playing with Pakistan since congress party was ruling the country in 2008 AFAIK. So when you come to power it doesn't matter whether you are friendly towards Pakistan or not, you have to follow the state policy. I don't think BCCI chief has any role in deciding fate of cricket with Pakistan. Its all decided by there government.

For gambling point of view, I guess I got nothing to do with women's cricket so far as odds were never convincing to me and most of my favorite places are not covering these matches at first hand. But, I am encouraging few of friends to watch these matches and to get familiarize on betting on cricket as most of these women's matches are easily predicable.

The match between USA Women and Thailand Women's team will be held shortly. The USA women's team decided to bat after winning the toss. The Thai women's team got a great victory in their previous match against the Bangladesh women's team. So in today's match they will be mentally strong enough to defeat the USA women's team. Moreover, the USA women's team is not very strong.
Today there are 2 more matches as well are scheduled in woman cricket world cup qualifier 2021. Out of all 3 matches, I guess West Indies-women's match against Sri Lanka-women might be more eventful to watch as West Indies-women are performing well in recent times. I am not following USA or Thailand women cricket but I read Pakistan-women team also performing well hence their today's match against Zimbabwe-women might be a one sided.

Under current ruling party its extremely difficult for Indian team to skip Pakistan tour. If there is a regime change in India, Congress came into government then there will be a chance. BCCI will definitely give final verdict after consulting there government. It is also very clear that Pakistan player's nor there government have any issue in playing and touring India.

If there is no new political anarchy between India and Pakistan before 2025, then maybe India will go to Pakistan. The Government of India must be consulted before making any decision on BCCI. The whole matter now depends on the decision of the Government of India. Moreover, looking at the behavior of the players of both the teams in the India-Pakistan match, I think there is no problem for the Indian players to go and play in Pakistan.

Seems like it, at least no Olympic entry in this decade. ICC only knows how to make big claims regarding spreading cricket or their Olympics plans but they don't do anything when it comes to execution. They are not even interested in including 16 or more teams in T-20 WC, although adding associate members in recent WC was welcome move but still they need to do more if they want to achieve their goal.

@JSRAW with your experience of watching cricket are you really surprised that ICC decided to prioritise making money over participation in Olympics, because I’m not surprised by their decision. Lastly of all tournaments the one that has caught my eye is champions trophy 2025, because it’s scheduled to take place in Pakistan and all eyes will be on India then will they come or will they skip the tournament?.

This is very good decision from ICC because currently they need some good gesture for spreading this cricket around the globe if they ban Afghanistan then it's surely hurting this game very badly few very talented players from this country are doing good and can play good role for more adoption in this war hit country.
Currently, we are already losing some good support in West Indies and have not good enough in some more countries which is not good, but this is perfect decision from the governing body.

ICC decision came after new ruling party assured that woman are allowed to play cricket in Afghanistan. In recent T20 WC performance of Afghanistan is better then Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and WI. They rightly deserve the test playing status, as there are many players lined up in there country that can take cricket to next level.

Adding associate teams to increase no of teams may be good to gain financial benefits but very little these associate team contribute to cricket. If you see recent T20 WC apart from Afghanistan there is no associate team that has shown healthy performance.
As far as CT 2025 is concerned, I think India has to take part as we have seen Pakistan visiting India for WC 2011 but anything is possible.

It looks like ICC got what it wanted very badly. ICC tournament every frigging year  Grin. 8 years cycle (2024-2031) and 8 White ball tournaments. (if we count World test championship then add 3-4 more ICC finals)

- 4 T-20 WC
- 2 Champions Trophy
- 2 50 overs WC

So that essentially rules out the inclusion of cricket in Olympics, right? The ICC actually issued a statement sometime back, claiming that they are looking forward to include cricket in the 2028 Los Angeles Games (July-August 2028). But if the international calendar remains so jam packed, how are they going to find a one-month window, for the main tournament? I don't see any chance that cricket will be included in 2028. The earliest opportunity will be Brisbane 2032, where the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has the right to add a limited number of sports disciplines from their quota.

🍓 BALIK Never DM First
Is anyone enjoying the match between Sri Lanka women's and Netherlands women's team? The Sri Lankan women's team batted first and set a huge target of 279 runs. It seemed to me enough to win. But the Netherlands collected 159 runs in 33 overs, and they lost only 3 wickets. 120 runs were needed for the victory of the Netherlands in 17 overs. It is unknown at this time who will win this match. But I am keeping the Sri Lankan team ahead. They will win if they can control the bowling.
Once after this post checked with the score. Netherlands have lost its winning chance, because it have lost 6 wickets. Another thing just seven overs left and it requires 10+  runs per over which isn't an easy thing. The win of Sri Lanka is almost confirmed. In the last ten overs Netherlands have lost 3 wickets and the run rate isn't maintained.

The target of 280 runs in women's cricket is a very big target. I have seen very few teams win by batting for 270/280 runs. Yet the Netherlands batsmen batted well enough in the beginning. If the middle order batsmen could bat a little better, the Netherlands would have a chance to win.
