Commonwealth Games 2022 cricket

But why Barbados, and not the West Indies, is one of the eight Women's cricket teams at CWG 2022? How did Barbados Women qualify for Birmingham Commonwealth ...

All that stated, they have a number of match-winners in their ranks, and perhaps even one individual brilliance could prove to be enough on a given day. A powerful, free-flowing strokemaker, Deandra Dottin had struck a 38-ball hundred against South Africa at the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2010 - still the fastest ever in Women T20Is. She was still into her teens then, and has continued to evolve as an international cricketer over more than a decade. She was West Indies’ standout batter at the World Cup earlier this year, and led the run-scoring charts in both - Women's Super50 Cup as well as the Twenty20 Blaze at home recently, offering plenty of promise ahead of the campaign.

A commanding innings from Ash Gardner dragged Australia over the line at Edgbaston as cricket returned to the Commonwealth Games.

Healy’s catch saw her become the first ‘keeper to complete 100 T20I dismissals, but the celebrations were short-lived when she missed a leg-side stumping chance to remove Verma, removing the bails with the ball in her other glove. But express quick Darcie Brown ensured the damage was limited, etching her place in the history books as the first Commonwealth Games T20 wicket taker when she had the dangerous left-hander caught behind slashing at a wider delivery, out for 24. She put on 33 off her next 15 to reach a half-century off just 34 balls, putting Australia in sight of victory before King sealed victory with a four on the final ball of the 19th over.
