6) Indian Women”s Team”s world cup performance

We keep talking so much about men that sometimes we fail to realize that 2017 has seen the beginning of a new era in Women”s Cricket. Team India, who were underdogs in the tournament, made it to the final of ICC Women”s World Cup 2017. It was a collective team effort and will surely push the administrators to think about Women”s IPL.

Some of the highlights of the tournament were Smriti Mandhana”s hundred against West Indies and 90 off 72 against England and Harmanpreet”s scintillating 171 off 115 against Australia in the semifinal. Also not to forget Ekta Bisht”s 5/8 which helped India beat arch-rivals Pakistan.
