6 reasons to watch women's cricket

#2 Maintaining a good run-rate

India’s Mithali Raj

Mithali Raj, the captain of the Indian women’s team has amassed 4,791 runs in 148 ODIs at an average of 50.43. Deandra Dottin had a strike rate of 126.96 in the World Cup, hitting 28 fours and 12 sixes during the tournament.

But that is not what women’s cricket is all about. It is about sweet timers of the cricket ball. Watch the likes of Charlotte Edwards, Harmanpreet Kaur and Suzie Bates bat and you won’t be disappointed, because even in men’s cricket for all the Gayles, Maxwells and Pollards of the world, a true cricket fan survives on Amlas, Pujaras and Clarkes of the world.
