Feb 2023 was the last one

They had one last year, why another so soon?

The one held last year in South Africa was originally scheduled for 2022 but postponed due to covid

They're scheduled to be hosted every 2 years and this is getting back on track by hosting it in 2024

The question heading into this World Cup is have the other teams closed the gap on Australia since they have won last years World Cup.

The 3 obvious contenders will be : England, India and South Africa. With South Africa, they will have to be firing on all cylinders to beat Australia. India is probably the best all-round team, and the Womens Premier League has seen their players get the confidence and gap close year in year out.

England probably has the better 2 all rounders in the game in Ecclestone and Sciver-Brunt. Do feel that their batting can be a bit flakey at times. Their best can beat anyone on their day.

Wondering if there is a way one can access tonights ICC Womens warm up matches?

 

[Around the Wicket]

If there spinning tracks India will be favourites.

If there spinning tracks India will be favourites.

Good point. I do feel like the gap between Australia and India has closed but I did say that at the last couple of major tournaments.


Going to be a fascinating World Cup from that perspective. If its anything like the mens World Cup here in 2021, one senses that batting 2nd will be an advantage especially with the dew factor.
