Women's cricket - Do you care?

India Women broke the record for the most runs scored by a team in a day’s play in Tests during the encounter against South Africa at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.

Opting the bat first after winning the toss, opener Shafali Verma scored a double hundred while her partner Smriti Mandhana contributed with a century as India amassed 525 runs at the end of the first day’s play.

The previous record was created during the contest between England and New Zealand in Christchurch in 1935 when the two teams combined to score 475 runs.

India’s 525 was also the most runs scored in a day while including men’s records, beating the 509 runs scored by Sri Lanka against Bangladesh in 2002.

Superb.

Was South Africa playing a depleted side? Their women's team is quite competitive.
 
They have ruined the Chennai pitch unless saffers can’t spin.

I don't know why it needs to be repeated over and over again that biology makes women's cricket substandard. Same is true for Tennis as well, yet women's tennis has great viewership.

Women's cricket needs stars, and viewership will come. It's actually already happening with WIPL and for the first time, these women have celebrity status with people identifying them outside the cricket field. Very encouraging.

Naw. Preseason pitches are well rolled flat roads so they remain somewhat playable after 8 months of nonstop cricket. This would be normally offseason for MA Chidambaram.

India Women beat UAE women by 78 runs to make it 2 out of 2 wins.

Undoubtedly the strongest team of Asia.
 
I went to the Oval last weekend with my family to watch a women’s IT20, the quality of the cricket wasn’t great but it was well hosted, the food and facilities were brilliant, and it was a highly enjoyable night. Women’s cricket has its place.
 
I watch games when they are on tv and nothing else is on.

To me it's just as entertaining as a T20 blast game or Big Bash League or some either franchise league where I'm not invested.

The cricket is often decent and engaging
 
ICC confirm Women’s T20 World Cup expansion to 16 teams in 2030

ICC reaffirmed its commitment to the growth of women's cricket in the latest Board meeting, highlighting strategic initiatives to elevate the women's game on a global scale.​


The ICC Board has approved an expansion of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup to 16 teams in 2030, aligning with its ongoing commitment to equity between the men’s and women’s games.

The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup has seen its participation grow from eight in the inaugural edition in 2009 to 10 in 2016. The number will grow to 12 in 2026 in the tournament set to be played in England before expanding to 16 teams in 2030.

Additionally, the Board confirmed that the qualification cut-off date for the 2026 edition will be 31 October 2024.

The Chief Executives' Committee (CEC) has also confirmed the allocation of eight regional qualifying spots for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Under this new structure, two teams each will qualify from Africa and Europe, one from the Americas, and three from a combined Asia and EAP regional final. Previously, Asia was allocated two spots and EAP one.

Excitement builds as the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 is set to illuminate Bangladesh in October.

The CEC also approved the appointment of Paul Reiffel to the ICC Men’s Cricket Committee as the Elite Panel Umpire, whilst Richie Richardson was confirmed as the Elite Panel Referee on the Committee.

The ICC Annual Conference wrapped up in Colombo today, with the ICC Board and Annual General Meeting attended by all 108 ICC Members. The four-day conference held just days before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympics, focused on the theme “Capitalizing on the Olympic Opportunity” ahead of cricket's inclusion in the LA28 Games.

USA Cricket and Cricket Chile have been formally put on notice. They have been given 12 months to address their non-compliance with ICC Membership Criteria due to the lack of fit-for-purpose detailed governance and administrative structure and systems.

The ICC Board also confirmed there will be a review of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 overseen by three directors, Roger Twose, Lawson Naidoo and Imran Khwaja who will report back to the Board later in the year.

The target is just 81 for India Women to chase down and cruise to the final of the Women's Asia Cup in 2024.

Another 10 wicket win loading???
 
It's like the 2 teams are playing 2 different games

Bangladesh laboured to 80 for 8 off 20
India is at 48 for no loss off 7
 
Women Asia Cup is Just waste of Time .indian women's team is far ahead of anyone from Asia .

Yeah and we're still substantially behind Australia. Women's cricket is a very lopsided game.

Anyway they wrapped it up in 11 without losing a wicket. On to the finals
 
India Women cruised to victory by 10 wickets against Bangladesh Women in the Women Asia Cup 2024 Semifinal.

They will now meet the winner of the 2nd semi-final between Sri Lanka women and Pakistan women in the final to be played on 28th July.
 
It’s not about whether we care but this matters, at least to the 7 women who are watching the women’s Asia Cup.

Pakistan women cricket literally doing heights of comical blunders rivaling their male counterparts under pressure!!!!

1. Missed stumpings, dropped catches and then Stumping not appealed :ROFLMAO:
9.2 Syeda Aroob Shah to Athapaththu, 1 wide
Quicker and fired down leg, she plays inside the line. Well, well well! Muneeba whips the bails off with Athapaththu's back leg in the air, but she did not appeal

No ball with less fielders inside the circles :facepalm:
9.5 Syeda Aroob Shah to Dilhari, (no ball) 1 run
Riaz shells a dolly! Tossed up around off, Dilhari hits it straight down long-on's throat. Riaz settles under it but fails to hold on. But more drama. As soon as DIlhari played that shot, Athapaththu signalled to the umpire that it has to be a no-ball. Pakistan perhaps had five fielders outside the ring
 
Drama is over.

Sri Lanka win and make it to final.

Final of Asia Cup: India vs Sri Lanka.
 
Clash of Asia’s finest women’s teams to decide which country’s women are the true titans of cricket.

Expecting a close finish but Bharat winning.

What about you
 
Oh nonsense! I wanted an India-Pakistan final. It's been so long. Is it too much to ask for?

Yeah I blame the Pakistanis. It was within their grasp. An epic final against India that would've raised the profile of women's cricket and would've got me to watch the whole game.

Read the commentary of the 10th over of Sri Lankan chase!! Epic comedy of errors!!

Yeah but there's no emotional resonance there. I'm not going to watch and I'm more invested in women's cricket that most Indian cricket fans. Maybe I can convince my daughter to be curious about it.

beating Australia is the true resonance in both men and women ab toh.. to some extent England.
 
Women's Asia Cup 2024:

India Women vs Sri Lanka Women, Final

India Women won the toss and elected to bat first against Sri Lanka Women.
 
Mandhana is in great form. Everyone else is struggling to get bat on ball consistently and she's just smoothly moving along.
 
Indian innings was fun to watch. Impressed with Richa's power hitting, though the Umpire blundered and gave her not out when there was a clear edge.

SL need 166 to win, No idea if they are capable of chasing.

I think they're very dependant on Chamari. She's a good solid batter with experience in multiple leagues but struggles to accelerate.
