Sri Lanka VS Australia
The first T20 match between Sri Lanka and Australia will be played in Colombo today. Sri Lanka has played their last two T20 series against India and Australia. They could not win any of the 3 T20 matches against India. On the other hand, they won one of the five matches against Australia. So I think this Australia team is the favorite in today's match. Sri Lanka is no longer a strong team in the T20 format.

Pakistani women are much behind in the game, but the good thing is still these brave women are fighting and having their place in this community because it's never been an easy place for women.
Recently they have few good tours and now after having an entry in WCW, they are enjoying a good future because a few big countries are considering a tour to Pakistan and they are also asking Pakistani women for tours which will give them good experience recently PCB also announces they are working on WPSL which is good from them if they able to do this then surely they will be able to have few more good cricketers and good encouragement for many other women's in this region even it takes some time but good future is waiting for them.

Some of the Pakistani players really impressed during the recently concluded Fairbreak Invitational T20. Diana Baig was in particular impressive with her pace bowling. And it actually surprised me that Pakistani players were able to perform at this level, despite the lack of a proper first class setup in their country. And the PCB should seriously consider setting up WPSL, similar to the way the BCCI is now planning to start the WIPL. For the first few years, they can organize a league with 3-4 teams and then expand later.

But it was a good match both fro Sri lankan team and Pakistani team. After this series WZ team has now landed in Multan - you will see the hype of this series. Ofcourse.
while there was Sri lanka and Pakistan playing in series - Pakistani women cricket team won the series.
Pakistani Women cricket team performed very poor in the world cup but they did amazingly well in this series - so i am sure INDIAN team will progress as well.

Query about Fancode app, Is it worth it?
Depends on your taste. If you are interested in matches between associate sides (such as the Namibia vs Hong Kong match that was streamed live yesterday), then you can go for it. The streaming quality is good in most cases. The advantage with Fancode is that at any given time, they will have 5-6 live streams of cricket matches. It maybe matches between associate nations, or club competitions such as the Mizoram Cricket League or the Jharkhand Cricket League. You can first go for a monthly pass (₹199), and if you like it, then you can take annual subscription (₹699). Personally, I found it worth every penny spent.
Although this Indian T-20 W Challenge is complete joke for the Women's Cricket IMO, still 8-10k spectators went ahead and watched live from the audience and Hotstar also attracted many eyeball. Highest hit was close to 7 lakhs and lowest point was around couple of lakhs, so interest is there for sure.
Interesting. Didn't know about any of this stuff. The only time that I ever watched women's Cricket was recently and it was actually entertaining. The commentators encouraging them also helped boost the entertainment value.Good to see women cricket getting popular in India. I don't think Indian women team is one of strong teams they have just an average squad.
I agree, but they can improve their performances drastically once the WIPL commences at some point in the future. They need more training basically.Pakistani Women cricket team performed very poor in the world cup but they did amazingly well in this series - so i am sure INDIAN team will progress as well.

In case of Pakistan, it is understandable. Their women's team is not very strong and they qualified for the world cup just because the ICC played dirty tricks and disqualified Thailand. Here in India, I have noticed a major shift in popularity and people's opinion during the last few years. Some of the women's cricketers have become very popular. The W100 and WBBL have become popular in India, because some of the Indian players are taking part in these leagues. And I am sure that a seismic shift will occur next year, once the WIPL starts.
Good to see women cricket getting popular in India. I don't think Indian women team is one of strong teams they have just an average squad. BCCI that don't allow its men team to take part in any league has allowed its women team to take part in WBBL and W100 to gain experience. That's dual standards.
Case of Australia and England is different. They not only give importance to women cricket rather all women sports are equally popular there. While in South Asia its opposite, Srilanka women team is touring Pakistan and the matches are played at 2nd tier grounds just because no one is coming to watch the matches.

That is definitely not true, at least in England and Australia. Look at the viewership figures for the last season of WBBL and W100, and you will notice this. And even in South Asian nations such as India and Sri Lanka, the attitude is changing. I will give you some stats. The cumulative audience for WBBL 2021 was 5.36 million, which is comparable for BBL2021. In Australia, the WBBL is now the fourth most-watched local league (only the BBL, AFL and NRL are ahead of the WBBL as of now). According to Cricket Australia, women’s international cricket viewership also increased by 400% during the last four years.

It's common everywhere - no one give much importance to women cricket teams - there is small news at the end of the bulletin which tells what are achievements of women players. There are hardly any spectator in the field when there is woman match going on.

In England and Australia, people are a lot more concerned and interested in women's cricket which is absolutely not the case in Southeast Asian countries. Women's cricket is not as popular as men's cricket here. A lot of times the achievement of women in cricket is generally overshadowed by the achievement of men in cricket. A big reason for that to happen is that the cricket boards in these countries generally don't worry too much about women's cricket as they do about men.

It's good that women cricket in India is progressing but it's still a long way to go. Actually women cricket less Aus, England and England is suffering badly. As boards are not wiling to spend even a penny on women cricket. India Women team performance as seen in last World Cup need more improvement.
In countries such as England and Australia, the boards have invested a lot of time and effort in promoting women's game and as a result they have a well developed system. In case of India, women's cricket was formerly under a separate organization and it was taken over by the BCCI some time back. But despite the takeover, the BCCI never gave it's due to the women's game. The justification is that women's cricket doesn't generate enough revenue. That is the difference between BCCI and the other boards.
Women's cricket is not as popular as England and Australia in India. I think that is a big reason why the BCCI is a little scared. They don't want to invest very big in something that might not give them the desired return. Otherwise, cricket, in general, is very popular in India and we should have seen a very good approach from BCCI about women's cricket.
But they don't seem to be very interested in women's cricket as they are in men's cricket. In recent times we are hearing about some steps being taken regarding women's IPL and I think this will be a big step for Indian women's cricket.

Times have changed, at least here in India. Women cricketers such as Harmanpreet Kaur, Mithali Raj, Smriti Mandhana and Jhulan Goswami are now very popular across India. They may not be as popular as Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, but I would say that a lot more people in India have heard about them when compared to Lovlina Borgohain or Ravi Kumar Dahiya. It is both good and bad for sports in India. On one side it shows how popular women athletes have become, and on the other side it demonstrates how the other sports are suffering in India as a result of dominance from cricket.

I think it's actually better if at least one sport is dominating instead of having a lot of sports doing not so good altogether.
I know that some of the women's cricketers of India are quite popular in India. But they don't have the global fame that the men's cricketers in India have. I think it's still a quantos about whether the women's IPL is going to be a success or not but I think it's worth taking a risk.
Another thing is obviously the huge popularity of India is mostly cricket fans. But I don't think cricket is the main reason why other sports might fail. It all comes down to if people like a certain sport or not.

Well, if we are talking about general popularity then yes I think women's cricket has a good popularity overall but the men's cricket has more popularity compared to the women's cricket and a lot of people are saying that men's cricket is about to die unless ICC does something about it.
That's why I think women's cricket is not that popular. And if we look at the countries that played women's cricket regularly I honestly don't think it is enough. Now India obviously has enough players to arrange a women's IPL tournament but having enough players is not equivalent to having good popularity.

Actually I would disagree when you claim that women's cricket is not very popular. As we have seen with W100 and WBBL, the viewership figures for the women's tournaments were comparable with that of the men's league. Even in South Asian countries such as India, popularity of women's cricket is on the rise. In fact, one of the reasons why the BCCI was not interested in the WIPL was due to concerns that a women's league may poach some of the viewers from the main league (the excuse they gave was that there are not enough players available in India, which is a big lie).
