India Women need 6 runs in 6 balls, a real opportunity for them to win the match and upset many who waged a bet on England Woman to win the match  Cheesy. Mithali Raj is still in the crease and she is more than capable of taking the team to victory but wickets are falling in the other end and hopefully India Women wins this one .

Edit:
Mithali Raj scored a boundary and took the team home and this is the first time Mithali Raj performed in this series.

These number represents nothing as some teams play more matches than the other. The better analysis would be to calculate the percentage of the loses for each time(Game lost / total games played)  as then we can do the numbering of teams from top to bottom.
Agree with you, but winning ratio can't be a perfect solution as well. Because team conditions change in time to time. Look at the current condition of Sri Lankan cricket team. They are struggling to show a good performance with their squad. But they was one of the top cricket team few years ago. Sri Lanka was runners-up in 2007 & 2011 ODI world cup, also in 2009 & 2012 T20 world cup and champion of 2014 T20 world cup. But all those glorious performance of Sri Lankan team has faded now. We should analyse a team base on their current and recent performance. History can't determine that how a team will play on next game. BTW, you can check the win/lose ratio of each team here
It could be said about any country, one prime example is Vintage windies team. In the end winning percentage matter most if we are looking at overall history, although i don't agree with it when judging any specific team but its a fact if we look at overall history.  Srilankan team going down the gutter due to their political interference in cricket, corruption and bad management in transition period of legendary players so nothing surprising imo.

Pakistan tour to England where they will play the ODI, test and T20 series..
It will be a good game of cricket provided Pakistan team give a good show  Smiley
It is hard to predict how Pakistan would play, even though England had a dominating series against Sri Lanka but there were times when they lost wickets at quick interval and since the total was small they were able to chase them easily, if Pakistan is able to bat well and put pressure on the England batsman i would like to see how they will perform.

Not the record you would want to break but Sri Lankans did it anyway and dethroned the Indians. Subcontinent teams are leading the tally lol. Poms and Kiwis are doing okay, although they played less games. Australians team is winner with their high percentage of wins.


What can yoiu expect from the Srilankan team? I glad to see that the subcontinent teams are dominating somewhere Grin

Even Zimbabwe is pretty down the list. If they are given more opportunities to play then they might come up. You can expect ENG, NZ and AUS  to be at the bottom considering they dominated the cricket world till the end of 90s.

After scoring 167 runs in the first wicket partnership, the Indian players lost all their wickets for 231 runs. It is clear from this that the Indian players are not very experienced. Only for Shefali Verma's extraordinary performance has the Indian team been saved from certain defeat. India's women's cricket needs to be further developed. They are still weak against teams like England and Australia.

As I have posted earlier, the women's game is not a priority for BCCI. Both the ECB and CA has setup franchise T20 leagues for women players. But the BCCI has refused to organize the WIPL (although indications are that the BCCI would suffer no additional expense if they do so). And despite India being the no.1 ranked team in men's cricket, their women's team have even failed to secure automatic qualification for the women's world cup. Even during the last world cup, they had to play the qualifier tournament to gain entry.

Openers Smriti Mandhana and new kid Shefali Verma are quite good tho. Also their last and only test against England was very competitive and fun to watch specially Shefali Verma played very beautifully. In ODI too both openers are doing their job but Number 3 is becoming Achilles heel for the team, followed by middle order collapse every single time.

Even in the test match India was staring at an innings loss. However, after being asked to follow on, the 167 run opening partnership between the two openers you mentioned (Smriti Mandhana and Shefali Verma) rescued the Indian team. In the end they managed to survive the 4th day. The England bowlers (Katherine Brunt, Anya Shrubsole and Sophie Ecclestone) were so lethal in the first innings, but completely failed to pick up crucial wickets in the second innings. By the time Mandhana fell, India was in a comfortable position.

Well, as you said - women's team matches are not competitive I do not even keep a track of women cricket tournaments unless it is a world cup. I am surprised to see a few members watch the match between ENG and IND and loved it. I will try and see whether I can find the highlights of this match on the internet. If someone knows then do reply to me with the link.

From the posts here, I can see that other users are also having the same opinion as mine. The women's ODI matches are very boring. But I have watched a few WBBL matches (women's equivalent of the Big Bash League in Australia), and they looked interesting to me. Franchise T20 leagues can bring big change to the women's game. The BCCI has ignored repeated requests for WIPL, but other boards such as the ECB and CA have gone ahead with such leagues. And this has resulted in a huge improvement in quality of the game in these countries.

Another dominating victory for England and sad to see Sri Lanka struggling like this and because of that the odds are really low to wage a bet  Grin.
The odds are really low considering how Sri Lanka was performing badly in the last several matches and it was obvious that England would win the match easily even though they rested some players and the odds were around 1.10 when i placed a parlay bet. England needs to rest all their top players for Sri Lanka to stand a chance in this series Cheesy.

Looks like BCCI is only looking for tournaments that will make them big money and if they are ignoring to start a T20 league for Women then it is really disappointing as the IPL clearly showed that it will improve the game.

But in cricket, the women's matches look as if some amateurs are playing cricket. The gap in skillset is too huge. BTW, England needs another 113 runs. For them, it will be tough to win this match.
You cannot compare sports of different genders, woman cricket was playing like this for decades and you could see big hits in T20 matches and i remember watching their World Cup and it was interesting. England is a good team and it is difficult to defeat them at home, i was not aware of the Indian bowlers and when the wickets started to loose i had a doubt whether there would be an upset, but luckily that did not happen.

This is the highlight of the match between India women and England women's team. Here you can see the extraordinary batting of England woman's batsmen. Also on this channel you can watch the highlights of all the cricket matches in England.

The scoring is good, and both the teams have given the best. In India people are slowly moving towards other games. Now football, and athletic events seems to have big fan base same as cricket. Already England have won the series, maybe the last match of the series will be for India.

Bowling from Kate Cross and batting from Sophia Dunkley made it an easy win for England.

I placed a bet on England Woman's team as England and India were playing, but the problem is that England lost 4 wickets already and they still need 129 runs from 27 how is the India bowlers will they upset them today?.

Well.. for my part I have never placed a bet on the women's game. For me it is even to watch these matches on TV. When compared to the men's game, the quality is much lower. And this gender gap is unique to cricket. I have seen women's football matches, and the excitement and quality is as good as the men's matches. But in cricket, the women's matches look as if some amateurs are playing cricket. The gap in skillset is too huge. BTW, England needs another 113 runs. For them, it will be tough to win this match.

In cricket, women's team matches are not competitive. Their gameplay is very slow. In many matches, good teams win by a lot of runs. However, yesterday's match was interesting. Although you guessed it, England can't win. But in the England women's team was able to defeat team India easily. They lost only 5 wickets and able to scored 225 runs.

At one point, England was at 133/5. But the partnership between Sophia Dunkley and Katherine Brunt for the 6th wicket made sure that England get another victory over India. BTW, one of the topmost female players in India, Mithali Raj has been nominated for the Arjuna Award (topmost sporting award in India). At least when compared to the other countries such as England, Australia and New Zealand, the women's game in India hasn't seen much progress over the years. And that is evident from the results during the current series against England.
