Can't say I'm impressed to be honest. Crowd looks small ax well! What's with holding up a card at the end of 5 balls? Think the umpire screwed up with the no ball/free hit! ECB trying to make more money and screw the proper game!
I watch more men's sport than most, so haven't watched women's cricket, as quite frankly there are hardly enough hours in the day.
Looking at that for an hour I wouldn't be interested in women's 20/20, let alone this. I'll also watch a men's game out of curiosity, but I'm quite happy if it's a massive failure.
Leaving aside the specific negatives I have about the 100 and watching franchises that I have no connection to or care about, women's cricket does suffer in this shorter format, due to the lack of strength
In Test cricket you can admire tight bowling, solid defence and graceful flicks of the hips, but T20 and similar formats are all about the big shots. The ball being smashed into the crowd, whereas they've had to bring the rope well in to get any sixes
You’re kind of punished for putting pace on the ball. Small boundaries seem more punishing. I genuinely think if they fielded a team of 4 spinners they’d probably win.
Its good they’re growing the women’s game but I do think the rules/format needs a little revising.
Whereas the men's T20 Blast is still continuing alongside the 100, for the women the Kia Super League has been entirely replaced by this, so they now have no T20 tournament, the official short form format in international cricket...

Stop watching it

good ending, hope the women’s game can really take a step forward now through this comp.
but no one else did
fully expected pac man to crawl along the bottom of the screen and gobble up the graphics.
Having had no preconceived ideas how this was going to go, I sat down with an open heart, cricket, oval as a venue, loving heart.
And I loved it.
I miss the Oval. I loved my cricket nights there 🥰🤩😍🤩🥰
