2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand

[ACT Crusader]

I’ve watched a few of the games and highlights of a few others, some quality cricket.

But surely this is one of the longest cricket tournament’s ever?

Yep, by the standards of some of the past mens CWC's, this almost seems like a short tournament.

Pity they couldn't have played the games in Summer instead of early Autumn

Architects of our own demise, but - aside from Australia - we didn't need much to change to turn 3 wins and 3 close losses into 6 wins and qualifying comfortably.

In the end, 3 wins was enough for the Windies to qualify with the help of some well timed rain.

Basically, Australia's tournament to lose - I doubt the Windies has the firepower to trouble them.

England vs SA will be interesting.

Same as the last one, but in a knockout crazy things can happen!

Raining in Wellington for the Australia v West Indies semi final. Australia without Ellyse Perry for this game.

And meanwhile on Cricinfo...

Bit of a drubbing handed out by Australia today. They seem to have 5-6 players who can play match-winning innings so not all of them have to go big. Hard to make a case for anyone beating them in the final

@kiwipie Nice to see Healy back in form.

Ditto for today. 117 off 109 last I checked.

Aussies 1 down for over 200. Going to be tough to reel in from here

[Donsteppa]

Healy has certainly picked the occasion to fire on...!

[NTA]

@donsteppa Last 2 games 250+ runs. 500+ for the tournament

She was a bit up and down the last year or so, particularly against England.

[NTA]

England lose Dunkley and Brunt in quick succession to King's legspin

Given the tail hasn't done much, the fat lady might be warming up....

[Donsteppa]

Sciver playing a lone hand in the English innings. Might yet achieve The Grade Cricketer ultimate of a century in a losing total in a final...

[Donsteppa]

If they'd been able to keep wickets in hand, England would have been well on track with this run rate, but...

[Donsteppa]

Dean stayed with Sciver, but got too clever with a reverse sweep...

The Worm makes interesting viewing - that acceleration in the last 10 from Healy and Mooney tho.... man...

[NTA]

There it is. World Champs again!

Sciver is class - stranded on 148 when she could have played a match-winning knock.

England's early wickets were always going to make it tough, but Healy, Haynes, and Mooney were unflappable and set up the win.
