Women's T20 world cup 2024

Good win for Bangladesh in the first game. Sri Lanka on top vs Pakistan.
 
It's on. I got a really good feeling this time.

More heart break loading? Prepare yourselves... decent squad though, but we haven't quite found a spinner of the class of Dane, a fast bowler of the class of Shabnim, an opener of the class of Lizelle, a middle order batter of the class of Mignon... big shoes to fill, one feels we might fall a yard short...

Depends what you are expecting, we are ranked 6 currently but considered darkhorses.
We are in the "easier" group. Get into the semi's and all bets are off, side can beat anyone on our day as we showed beating aus in Canberra in the last year.
Lizelle, Dane and mignon weren't there when we reached the final in 2023. Shabnim is the massive loss but it is what it is no side could replace her, hardly any in the women's game capable of bowling at that pace.
I have good vibes from our team.
 
Host? Dubai? Why? Cool climate? Rich cricketing history? Full stadiums? Bastien in the fight for women's rights?

Money?

Meh, we sell our souls for money hey?

Bangladesh was suppose to host but ICC moved it due to political unrest.
UAE one of few nations who can host on short notice.

SA is also always ready to host. And for the supposed sh ithole we are, have we ever had a sporting event cancelled for unrest? Never.

SA must be one of the most desirable host destinations?

On exchange rate alone.

But our climate? Our scenery? Our infrastructure? World class.

SA & UAE are pretty much always the backup options. We had gotten the under 19 men world a year or so back when they had to switch it from Sri Lanka.
