2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup - Go, Team India!
The ongoing 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup is quite interesting. Our team won the opening two matches, but unfortunately faltered in the match against England. Despite a superb five-wicket haul by pacer Renuka, and some sensible batting by Smriti and Richa, poor batting from others led to defeat. While we may not have the going tough against Ireland today, with England finishing at the top of our Group, India will be meeting the defending champions Australia in the next stage. We had hoped to avoid this clash by topping the Group, but now it seems inevitable.A wonderful achievement was by Deepti Sharma in the ongoing competition. The all-rounder is not only the sole India cricketer to have played more than 50 consecutive ODI and T20 matches, she also is the first Indian cricketer to bag 100 wickets in T20 internationals. Next in the queue to reach this feat is Poonam Yadav, with 98, and Yuzvendra Chahal is some way behind with 91. Howzzat! Way to go ladies!
Let us cheer the Women in Blue!
I will organize a fun Make A Prediction (MAP) guessing game for the semifinals and finals 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, where you have to predict what I will ask (such as who will bat firs, which bowler will take the most wickets, etc). Each MAP will be announced a day before the match. Stay tuned!
