*** Official*** ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2017

[Daemon]

Pretty sure they'll defend this, Sana Mir looks difficult to get away.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Yeah no one really stepped up with the bat. Must be disappointing.

Can't really see SA doing much in this tournament.

 

[vcs]

Now there's a surprise, SA holding their nerve to win a tight match in an ICC tournament...

 

[Daemon]

Wow, didn't even come down to the final over

 

[Magrat Garlick]

All day no one got beyond the inner ring and then suddenly this Ismail comes up and gets it.

I'll stop quarterbacking I think

 

[harsh.ag]

Ismail gun under pressure. SA almost losing from 113-0 chasing 200 odd. The ladies carry forth the good name then.

 

[Pratters]

Now there's a surprise, SA holding their nerve to win a tight match in an ICC tournament...

This SA choke thing is one of the most freakish things in modern sport.

 

[_Ed_]

Sounds like an exciting game. Hope I'll catch some highlights on TV.

Windies getting beat left, right, and center.

What a time to be a die-hard fan of Windies cricket.

 

[Burgey]

Fair bit of confusion at the toss today, with the Windies skipper changing her mind and being made (correctly imo) by the match referee to stick with her original decision to bat first.

 

[MW1304]

Brutal partnership this. Not a bad first international hundred for Sciver either, from 76 balls.

 

[vogue]

Knight just got her 100 too. Not a bad partnership going here.

 

[MW1304]

Sciver is a pretty special talent. Absolutely wrecking these bowlers. Won't mind being bowled half volley after half volley, mind.

Aaand the half volley gets her. Great innings.

 

[vogue]

Just watched the last hour of this . Entertaining stuff. Will have to catch some more of it this week in between the tennis

 

[MW1304]

Something makes me think this Pakistan bowling attack won't be replicating the upturn in fortunes of the men.

 

[Starfighter]

What a hiding. Makes it to the fifth highest all time score.

Turns out the highest ever women's ODI score is 455 by NZ back in 1997. Bowling Pakistan out for 47 gave a comfortable winning margin of 408 runs.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Only Ayesha is fighting for Pakistan.

 

[_Ed_]

Must admit I almost wrote England off after that loss to India, but clearly that was a bit too hasty.

 

[ankitj]

I got only the Jhulan Goswami question correct confidently. Got a 50% overall but all other questions were really guesses.

 

[ankitj]

Does it rain in England in July?
