I must say that just watching the Womens T20, England have been very impressive. Especially against Australia, I thought the batting was superb to get the win. In T20 I certainly think that the men and women are far closer than one would expect, but I think if a match was actually played between the two then the men would have the advantage for a couple of reasons:
Have the Women faced the quick bowling? I understand that the quicks aren't the most effective in T20 and that England don't have really express bowlers, but it is still faster than the women will be used to.
Boundary hitting ability. It has been clear that there are fewer 6s, plus the women do have shorter boundaries. I am not sure the batsmen (batswomen?) could get to the ropes enough.
They could sure give the men a run for their money though, that is certain.
