Women's Cricket World Cup - England

By
Three-time winner of the world cup - 1973, 1993, and 2009. The women’s Cricket Team hopes to add more to their kitty. Being the hosts of this prestigious tournament, they do have the home advantage.

The women’s team is currently ranked second. Ten members of the 2013 squad are on the current team. Experience is truly valued.

The Squad:

Heather Knight (capt), Tammy Beaumont (wk), Katherine Brunt, Georgia Elwiss, Jenny Gunn, Alex Hartley, Danielle Hazell, Beth Langston, Laura Marsh, Anya Shrubsole, Nat Sciver, Sarah Taylor (wk), Fran Wilson, Lauren Winfield, Danni Wyatt.


Fixtures:

June 24 V India
June 27 V Pakistan
July 2 V Sri Lanka
July 5 V South Africa
July 9 V Australia
July 12 V New Zealand
July 15 V West Indies


Players to look out for:

Nat Sciver can hit big. She is what the team will depend on to get the run rate racing. Her thirst for runs along with her ability
Tammy Beaumont - First English Woman to hit back-to-back ODI tons, she could be the game changer for England.
Katherine Brunt is the wicket-taker of the team. She is one of the three players on this current squad who lifted the 2009 world cup.
Anya Shrubsole is the highest wicket taker in T20. She can also pitch in with the ball and give the team the breakthroughs.

Two of the times they won, they were the hosts. England could do it again. But then, that’s what we had said about the Men’s team during the ICC Champions Trophy held earlier this month. Cricket and life - very unpredictable.

TNPL - A Brief Rundown

By
Based on the stupendously successful Indian Premier League is the Tamil Nadu Premier League. This Indian T20 cricket league has been established by the Tamil Nadu State Cricket Association to bring out more and more Natarajans and Washingtons who otherwise do not get a chance to showcase their skill and talent in the world of Cricket. The inaugural edition of the TNPL took place in 2016 and received unexpected and unprecedented success and love. There was a brilliant batch of young men who came forward and made an event out of the first season of TNPL.

Venues 

India Cements Ground, Thirunelveli
NPR College Ground, Dindigul 
MA Chitambaram Stadium, Chennai 


Changes

Editor’s Pick (Nidahas T20): India - Bangladesh

By
The tournament has reached a point that we all love. An exciting point where we still do not know who the finalists are. With just two matches to go and berth still wide open; the rest of the Nidahas tournament looks to be just as thrilling.
If India wins, India books a seat in the finals. If Bangladesh wins, the team takes the second place on the points table (or the first depending on the NRR) So while India should aim to win, an eye should be kept on the run rate at all times. Weather looks dicey as well. It might rain. D&L are prepared as well. Let’s also be. Picking a lineup at a rainy time is crucial. I would pick five batsmen to support a good score and a high run rate. With the batsmen of both teams playing rather well, you will have to pick carefully. Pick the more consistent ones. Bangladesh The team is on a high after the wins. The top five batsmen have clicked taking the team to a whole new level. The bowlers need to keep up with a more consistent line and length. India W…
