West Indies is all set for upcoming World T20 2018

Prior to the World T20, everyone wants to know who will win this mega event. Though Australia have three titles in their name, they have not won any title in any format since 2014. Whereas England won the ICC Cricket World Cup 2017 but have not played any good cricket since then. New Zealand too had a not-so-good tournament while The Windies are the defending champions and the support of the home crowd will help them a lot.



It will also be the first stand-alone tournament of the year. DRS is used in all matches for the first time, indicating that the women’s game has moved forward by the best technology.



The numbers indicate that the time is perfect for such wonderful moves. More than 180 million people watched the final of the ICC Women’s World Cup last year, and 70% of the ICC’s billion fans surveyed last year and expressed an interest in watching more women’s cricket. As the tournament is being played in the West Indies, the stage is all set with the unique combination of cricket, music and entertainment.



Defending champions the West Indies will try to use the home advantage to become only the second team after England to win an ICC Women’s World T20 at home. Their win in the 2016 edition has made the possibility that any team can win beyond the usual suspects. Both the groups contain at least three teams each who can challenge for the top two spots and are capable of winning the title.



Group A includes England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and South Africa, while Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan and Ireland are all placed in the Group B. All the team will try to improve their performances at the mega event.



The tournament will feature many talented players, both seen and unseen. The classy batting of Stafanie Taylor, Meg Lanning and Heather Knight will be complemented by the big hitting of Harmanpreet Kaur, Deandra Dottin and Lizelle Lee.



As the matches will be played in the West Indies, it's expected that leg spinners will have a great tournament ahead, India’s Poonam Yadav in particular. This is going to be the first ICC tournament after the revisions made to the playing conditions in October 2017.



Not only this, the World T20 2018 is going to be the top  performers, who are competing with each other to feature in the top-five of different lists include Australia captain Meg Lanning (third) and Beth Mooney (fourth) in the batters’ list, India’s Poonam Yadav (second) and Pakistan’s left-arm spinner Anam Amin (fourth) among bowlers and Australia’s Ellyse Perry (third) in the list of all-rounders.
