Women's Cricket World Cup - India

By
The name Mithali Raj has become synonymous with Women’s Cricket in India. For a very long time, the women’s team has been hidden in the shadows of the men in blue. While it is not the fault of the men’s team, the nation, on the whole, has to realize that the - I’d like to say better half - of the Men’s cricket team deserve equal support, love, and respect.

India is hugely obsessed with cricket. To the point that it has been called a religion. This world cup should put the spotlight on the women’s cricket team and bring out the much-needed encouragement from the country. It is an Indian Cricket Team nevertheless.

The Squad:

Mithali Raj (captain), Ekta Bisht, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Jhulan Goswami, Mansi Joshi, Harmanpreet Kaur, Veda Krishnamurthy, Smriti Mandhana, Mona Meshram, Nuzhat Parween, Shikha Pandey, Punam Raut, Deepti Sharma, Sushma Verma and Poonam Yadav

Fixtures:

June 24 V England
June 29 V West Indies
July 2 V Pakistan
July 5 V Sri Lanka
July 8 V South Africa
July 12 V Australia
July 15 V New Zealand

Players to look out for:

Captain Mithali Raj. She’s ranked second in the ICC Women’s Batting Rankings. Her achievement speaks for her. She is approximately 200 runs away from topping the list of ODI top scorers. She is an inspirational captain who is set to become the third player to lead her team in 100 One Day Internationals. Harmanpreet Kaur ranked 9th on the ICC list can give her the company.

Jhulan Goswami is third on the ICC Bowling Rankings and is the wicket-taker. A lot of the team’s hopes rides on her. This could be the 34-year-old’s last world cup and she would want to exit with a bang. She hopes to get some support from Shikha Pandey and Ekta Bisht (ranked sixth in the ICC Bowling list).

Young all-rounder Deepti Sharma’s record-breaking play makes her someone to watch out for. Along with Punam Raut and Smriti Mandhana, the lineup of this team looks formidable indeed.


The batting strength is deep. Bowling during death overs needs to be worked on. This tournament is the exposure that they need to bring out the best in them. This is a young squad. The combination of experience with youth can be a great thing. Or the clash could be the reason for their downfall. Time will tell.

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

By
It is not just about coming back. It is about the impact you make in the process. And Chennai team knows how to with a bang.  The Chennai team beat the home team by one wicket in what was an absolute sit-at-the-end-of-the-chair thriller. It was one of the best chases the tournament has seen and it most definitely won't be the last. The player who made the difference in the end - Jadhav - literally came back from the dead after retiring hurt to take his team to the finish line by hitting the ball in style with a six and a four.  Batting on one leg and playing an absolutely unbelievable shot, this player leveled the scores first with a six and finished the match with a four.  Key Points  MI has never won their opener since 2013. This was Chennai's first win against MI in an opener of this T20 League  DRS used in the league for the first time  Bravo : It was a great team effort. I want to dedicate this win to the CSK fan, they have waited long for
