Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 are set to feature Women’s T20 Cricket for the first time ever in the history of this sporting mega event.
8 teams are divided into 2 groups. The 4 teams within each group will face each other and at the end of the group stage, the top 2 teams from both the groups will proceed further to the semi-finals and the winners of the 2 semi-finals will face each other in the final. The 2 losing teams of the semi-finals will go head to head to clinch the bronze medal.
Australia won the ICC Women’s World Cup this year and currently they look quite strong with the quality players.
With this current form, Australia is the top contender to clinch the Gold at the Commonwealth Games Women Cricket 2022.
Australia is grouped along with India, Pakistan and Barbados. Barbados is not a strong team and Australia can beat them easily with the current squad. Australia has an upper hand when it comes to head to head T20I contests against India and Pakistan, therefore, Australia can beat those two as well and can claim the top spot in the group stage.
