WPL 2023: Women's cricket is the present sensation in recent scenarios, and world cricket is giving similar importance to women's cricket as that of men's cricket by hosting several ICC tournaments similar to those for men's cricket.&nbsp;



The initiative of the WPL was taken, and keeping the Women's BBL in mind, the BCCI is now all set to provide an equal and greater platform for their women players to compete with their international contemporaries.&nbsp;



In the beginning of the season of the WPL, let's take a look at the 5 possible batters who are expected to be on top of everyone to score maximum runs in the tournament:&nbsp;



<h2>5. Smriti Mandhana</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Smriti-Mandhana-2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-103659" width="1040" height="581"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Telegraph India</figcaption></figure>



The veteran Indian batter has been an asset for the Indian national team since her debut. She has been a stunning performer in all formats of the game and has ruled the shorter format like a queen. The talented Indian batter is a match-winner, and similar will be her role-playing for RCB women. Though Mandhana sticks to her orthodox style of batting, she is very effective in the modern format of the game and will be a great asset for her side in WPL 2023. &nbsp;



<h2>4. Tahila McGrath</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Tahila-McGrath_11zon.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-103660" width="1038" height="697"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Female Cricket</figcaption></figure>



The Australian middle-order batter is currently ranked No. 1 in the shorter format of the game. McGrath, who stars in the opening season of WPL for the <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=up+warriorz&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Esearch">UP Warriorz</a>, is expected to perform similarly to his performance on the international platform. McGrath is one of the strongest and most classy power hitters in today's world, and over that, she is at the peak of her form in recent times, and short Indian boundaries will help her continue with this form.&nbsp;



<h2>3. Beth Mooney</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Beth-Mooney_11zon.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-103661" width="1040" height="697"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: ESPNCricinfo</figcaption></figure>



Next on our list is another Australian batter, Beth Mooney, who is currently ranked No. 2 in the world T20I rankings. His recent man-of-the-match performance in the WT20I World Cup final shows his recent form. Mooney is a cult classic cricketer, only capable of playing classic shots and impressing with her timing and perfection. Having a diminutive stature, she is unable to hit many sixes, yet is known to have a fierce strike rate as per the requirements of the format.



<h2>2. Alyssa Healy</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Alyssa-Healy_11zon-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-103662"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: T20 World Cup</figcaption></figure>



Healy is one of those legendary names in women's cricket and is one of the most fierce strikers of the cricket ball. Healy has proven her worth throughout the last few years, since when she was promoted to the top of the order. The right-handed batter is one of the few players who can lead her team to victory on her own. The UP Warriorz captain is expected to do equally well in the WPL as she does in international T20s or the WBBL.&nbsp;



<h2>1. Nat Sciver</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Nat-Sciver_11zon-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-103663"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Sky Sports</figcaption></figure>



This Englishwoman is one of those cricketers whom one would find in all the ICC rankings of all three formats of the game. Sciver is a strongly built, powerful striker who can change the course of the game at any moment and also keep the scoreboard ticking in tough situations.&nbsp;



Sciver is one of those very reasons that England is still in a competitive phase in world cricket despite no other player showing any sort of resistance, especially in the batting department. MI Women will be resting a huge portion of their hopes on the English cricketer due to her extreme caliber.

The forthcoming fifth-encounter of the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup promises a fascinating clash between reigning champions Australia and Sri Lanka at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. Both teams would be keen to get off to a winning-start in this important group-stage game, setting the stage for an entertaining contest.



Sri Lanka, under the captaincy of Chamari Atapattu, head into this contest after suffering a defeat by 32 runs in their opening fixture versus Pakistan. Despite getting off to a Rocky start in the tournament, the Sri Lankans remain determined and remain mindful of the importance of securing a win versus the Mighty Australians.



A win against the six time-winners would not only keep Sri Lanka's hopes of qualifying for the knockout-rounds alive but will also provide them a huge confidence boost as they start their quest of making their way through a difficult-group filled with competitive rivals.



The Aussies on the other hand, will be kicking off their 2024 Women's T20 World Cup campaign in this match and they would be desperate to start their title-defence on a positive-note.



The reigning-champions have a balanced squad at their disposal, consisting of promising youngsters and experienced campaigners, making them a formidable force on the field.

Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Australia eliminated as South Africa stun them in the 1st semi-final: South Africa secured an easy victory in the 1st semi-final of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 versus Australia at the Cricket Stadium of Dubai on Thursday, 17th of October.



Winning the match by a margin of eight-wickets, the Proteas have eliminated the seven-time champions from the competition and have qualified for the final of the tournament.



Kicking off their run-chase of 135 runs, the Laura Wolvaardt-led outfit steered their way towards victory with 16 deliveries and eight wickets in hand.



Opening batter Tazmin Bates (15 runs in 15 balls) was the 1st Proteas batter to get dismissed by the Mighty Australians as her stumps were cleaned up by Annabel Sutherland in the fifth over.



Skipper Wolvaardt led the chase from-the-front as the 25-year-old played a good knock of 42 runs in 37 deliveries which consisted of one maximum and three fours. Despite playing a captain?s knock for South Africa, she too got dismissed in the 15th over but by the time she got out, the match had been sealed by the South Africans.



Interestingly, both of the Protean opening batters fell prey to the bowling brilliance of Annabel Sutherland (2-26).



However, experienced batter Anneke Bosch (74 runs in 48 balls) turned out to be the guiding light for the Laura Wolvaardt-led team as her crucial knock helped her side get over the line.

Earlier in the match, the Australians had posted a decent total of 134 runs on the board.



The Laura Wolvaardt-led outfit had won the toss and asked Alyssa Healy &amp; Co to have a bat first but the the defending-champions got off to a really poor start as opener Grace Harris was sent back to the pavilion by Ayabonga Kha ka, providing an early advantage to the Proteas.



Experienced batter Beth Mooney, however, remained at the crease for a long time and tried to stitch partnerships with the likes of Tahlia McGrath (27 runs in 33 deliveries) and Georgia Wareham (5 runs in 9 deliveries). But, the 30-year-old wasn't able to form a big partnership with either of the players.



The Gujarat Giants captain soon found some support from another experienced batter Ellyse Perry and the two brought some stability to the falling-apart Australian team.



They stitched a partnership of 31 runs in 28 deliveries for the 4th wicket but their stand didn't last for a long time as Marizanme Kapp ran out Mooney (44 runs in 42 balls).

</div></figure>



Following the dismissal of Mooney, Phoebe Litchfield joined Perry in the middle and the two battled their way till the end with Perry getting dismissed on the final delivery of the Australian inning as the seven-time winners posted a score of 134-5 on the board.



Talking about the bowling performance of the Proteas, Marizanne Kapp, Ayabonga Khaka and Mlaba picked up one-wicket each.

The 2025 Women's Ashes series kicks off from tomorrow, 12th of January as the women's teams of England (ENG) and Australia (AUS) will be battling it out versus each other in three One-Day Internationals, as many Twenty-Twenty contests and a single one-off Test-Match till the 2nd of February. 
This exciting bilateral event kicks off with both teams taking on each other in the first ODI at the North Sydney Oval Cricket Stadium. The forthcoming exciting contest will commence at 5:00 AM IST (Indian Standard Time). 
Aussie skippsr Alyssa Healy is set to maker her highly-awaited return to the Cricket field from a long injury break and she will be seen donning the precious Captain's hat once again in the forthcoming Women's Ashes series. While the return of their skipper is a good news for the Kangaroos, they have suffered a setback as star all-round Sophie Molineux will be absent from this exciting event due to an injury. 
Despite this, the Mighty Australians would be looking to keep on improving their Ashes H2H record having last lost the series way back in 2013-14. Heather Knight-led England on the other hand haven't had things going their way in recent Ashes bilateral events and they would be looking to start things off on a fresh note and not let their poor results in the past bring them down.
<h2>England (ENG) vs Australia (AUS) 1st ODI: Head-2-Head records in One Day International matches</h2>
The Women's Teams of England (ENG) and Australia (AUS) have competed in 82 One-Day International matches versus each other and out of these 82 contests, the Mighty Aussies have finished out on top on 58 occasions while the English Girls have secured victories in just 24 contests. 
<h2>England (ENG) vs Australia (AUS) 1st ODI: North Sydney Oval Cricket Stadium's Pitch-Report</h2>
The surface of the North Sydney Oval Cricket Stadium is one which provides assistance to the batters. It's known to be quick and have a steady-bounce as well. The seamers will have the advantage of making full use of the pace &amp; movement with the new ball on offer, creating difficulties for the batters in the initial phase. 
But, as the game progresses and the ball gets old, the surface starts to get more and more favourable for the batting team and this will surely lead to an exciting and entertaining Cricket contest between bat &amp; ball.
<h2>England (ENG) versus Australia (AUS) 1st ODI: Weather-Report </h2>
According to the weather forecast reports of AccuWeather, the weather in Sydney tomorrow is not looking good at all. There's a high chance of isolated thunderstorms arriving in the morning period and while there might be some sunny spells post this, the weather is not anticipated to stabilize as the overcast conditions are expected to return. 
The afternoon period is expected to experience windy conditions which makes things even more difficult for the first match of the Women's Ashes. Winds are anticipated to blow at a speed of 24 kilometers per hour (km/h) with a humidity percentage of 66%.
<h2>England (ENG) vs Australia (AUS) 1st ODI: Best possible dream 11 combination</h2>

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the jersey controversy ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This comes after the Indian governing body refused to write 'Pakistan' on their kits for the tournament. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is scheduled to begin on 19th February. The preparations for the tournament are on, and the ICC and the PCB are taking every step possible to make sure that everything is right on track. 
However, a controversy recently erupted after BCCI refused to write Pakistan on their jersey for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Notably, every participating nation, as per the ICC policy, has to write the name of the host nation below the logo of the tournament on their jersey. 
After BCCI refused to sport it, Pakistan Cricket Board officials made a strong statement, saying that BCCI is trying to use politics in every matter. He, however, mentioned that they are hopeful that ICC will support them and India will be asked to write the name of the jersey on their kits for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys - ICC official </h2>
Following this, BCCI also reacted, and the insider from the governing body said that since they are playing in Dubai, it isn't mandatory for them to wear the 'Pakistan written jersey'. The BCCI also stressed that they didn't write Pakistan's name on the podium of the Trophy tours as well. 
Amid all this, ICC has come up with a strong response for the BCCI. An ICC official mentioned that it is the responsibility of the host nation to add the tournament logo to their jersey. He stated: 
"It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys. All teams are obligated to comply with this rule," an ICC official said as per A-Sports, as quoted by NDTV. 
Not only this, it is learned that the ICC also warned BCCI that they would be taking strict action if they didn't wear the Pakistan-written jersey during the tournament.

India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. 
Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series. 
This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team. 
Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series. 
<h2>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</h2>
Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.
Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team. 
With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1: Rohit Sharma (C)</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">4: Shreyas Iyer</h3>
Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  
As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">5: Mohammad Rizwan</h3>

Pandya has been a responsible batsman down the order with an exemplary record against Pakistan. He on several occasions has won matches for India single-handedly, be it with the bat or with the ball. 
As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.
<h3 dir="ltr">7: Shadab Khan</h3>

As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.
<h3 dir="ltr">8: Kuldeep Yadav</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790665563c6d.jpg" alt="" width="741" height="461">
Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)

<h3 dir="ltr">9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</h3>

As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.
<h3 dir="ltr">10: Jasprit Bumrah</h3>
India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. 
As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.
<h3 dir="ltr">11: Mohammed Shami</h3>
