I watch the last few matches of SL women. Glad you came this far. But, after witnessing the performance, Indian women are very likely to win by a mile and few world records. Still, good luck to you! Remember, catches win matches. Even mo so in a short game like 20/20, a single dropped catch can make all the difference.
Congratulations!
Saturday:
SL Women 65 for 9 wicket in 20 overs
India women 42 for 2 and need only 24 runs to with 84 balls to be balled.
It pays to be realistic when we wish things and also helps to improve ourselves, that is the foundation of winning!
