Bangladesh women are 12 for 5 chasing 165 v New Zealand. Lea Tahuhu has 3 for 1.

Looks like a good crowd for the India v Australia T20

Super over now in the 2nd t20 international.

Richa Ghosh with those massive sixes and Divya Vaidya doing her part.

Damn, looks like it was a cracking match.

Tahlia McGrath's ridiculous record continues;

16 T20is
485 runs (just 10 innings)
121.25 average
149.69 strike rate

Another good finish on the cards in the India v Australia T20i

Not a big fan of the Indian girls taking a round of the stadium post the 2nd T20. They had just won a single game, not an entire series.

Its in poor light, tbh! See, what happened thereafter- they meekly lost the next game.

More like a Non-Resident Indian XI

I think that's largely a thank you to the fans - there was 45,000 there. That's practically double what English grounds can hold at capacity.

Bangladesh Under 19's have beaten Australia in the opener of the WC.

I’m really not liking the decision to select Shafali in this squad. She’s clearly a level or two above the rest and it takes away the opportunity for another player who could have made their career here instead.

I could see two arguments; one it means she gets some practice in South Africa before the World Cup (although they have a tri series against South Africa and West Indies anyway). Second is India just really want to win tournaments.

England opted not to send Freya Kemp and Alice Capsey before they got injured.

Each country has their own priorities, I guess.

Some good aggressive cricket on display- U19 World Cup. Unlike the senior counterparts, the teenagers are really turning it on here.

I was frankly amazed by the attitude and the 'We Can Win' motto on display. With senior competitions, you sense a meek-ness among the non-Australia/ England teams.

i admit, I was not in favour of them introducing this format for U-19. The longer I think about it, I feel it makes sense and provides more opportunities to the women-as they are more or less relegated to playing only 2 formats.

Honestly this decision to pick Shafali is just seeming more and more ridiculous. Surely they don't want to win this much.

It takes away the competitiveness from this tournament, India are way too overpowered. She's played 74 senior internationals already, which is more than some women's cricketers get in their careers. I understand picking players that have already been capped in senior cricket, but this is taking it too far. I think smaller nations like Rwanda and USA can get a pass since they have a much shallower talent pool. India is a talent gold mine, I'm sure they can select an opener with no international experience here and still win.
