The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022 will begin in New Zealand from Friday. The first match will be played between hosts New Zealand and West Indies. Teams from West Indies, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, South Africa, Australia and England, including hosts, will participate in this 31-day long cricket tournament. Like the 2019 World Cup, this time too the tournament is being organized on the basis of round robin league, in which all the teams will take on each other. The top four teams will qualify for the semi-finals.
Under the leadership of Indian women’s team captain and experienced player Mithali Raj, India would like to capture the ICC title for the first time. India has played the finals of 2005 and 2017. India will play their first match in the tournament against Pakistan on 6 March. The Australian women’s players, who have won the Women’s World Cup the most 6 times, will be eyeing the trophy for the 7th time. At the same time, former World Cup champions England have won the cup by winning the final 4 times. Hosts New Zealand won the trophy once in 2000.
Have a look at all 8 teams:
Australia : After losing to India in the semi-finals of the 2017 World Cup, 6-time champions Australia is in no mood to miss the title this time. His eyes are on his 7th title. If you look at the record, it is known that in the ODI format, Australia has lost only 1 in the last 30 matches. Players like Ellyse Perry, Alyssa Hille, Meg Lanning and Beth Mooney, who are ranked No. 1 in the ICC ODI rankings, have a lot of experience in ODIs and are capable of changing the course of the match at any time. On the other hand, Ashleigh Gardner and Jess Jonson are adept at playing long shots.
Bharat : India, the runners-up of the 2017 World Cup, will look to win this time. Captain Mithali and fast bowler Jhulan Goswami played the last World Cup. This time the synergy of young players with experience is being seen in the team. Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur regaining form for India in the warm-up match is a good sign for the team. At the same time, young players Shefali and Richa Ghosh are adept at showing their batting skills.
England : Former world champions England have been the second most successful team in cricket history. She would like to capture the title once again. Fast bowler Kat Cross has taken the most wickets for England since 2019. At the same time, Tammy Beaumont is also the main player of this ODI format.
New Zealand : New Zealand captured the tournament 22 years ago. The team’s morale is high after a 4-1 win over India led by Sophie Devine. At the same time, winning the 9-wicket win over Australia in the practice match has given a signal to the rest of the teams. Kiwi’s top batsman is quite impressive. Cricket pundits are considering New Zealand as a hidden system.
South Africa : A confident South Africa team will look to capture the title for the first time after winning series against West Indies, Pakistan and India. The team is ready to challenge the rest of the team thanks to the stellar performances of the players Sune Lus, Laura Wolveradh, Shabinam Ismail.
West Indies: The West Indies team, which has entered the World Cup on the basis of ODI rankings, has a base of young and experienced players. This is spinner Anisha Mohammed’s fifth World Cup. At the same time, Captain Staffany Taylor is capable of playing match-winning innings. All eyes will also be on Dandra Dottin, who hit the big shots. He recently scored an unbeaten 150 in ODIs.
Pakistan : The Pakistan women’s team, which has played the World Cup four times, finished fifth in 2009. This is his best result in the World Cup. Captain Bismah Maroof has returned to the team. On the other hand, the overall performance of fast bowler Nashra Sundhu is quite good. All eyes will be on Pakistan too.
Bangladesh : Bangladesh, playing the first in the World Cup tournament, got entry on the basis of ODI rankings. Nigaar Sultana is the best and strongest player of the team. Hopefully the team will show its impressive game in the tournament.
