The European Women's Champion football team beat Germany in the final. It's not like anybody stopped me. But watching Men's Cricket was not something I enjoyed. "But Indian women vs Pakistani women I didn’t want to miss at any," she says. The Commonwealth Games hoped to make Sunday a blockbuster and draw the large Birmingham diaspora into the stadium.
It was shockingly surprising how one-sided it turned out to be. The Indian crowd out-screamed the Pakistani crowds, just as their team dismissed Pakistan 8 wickets. India remained focused on their bowling plan and Shefali Varma and Smriti Madhava played a clinical game for an easy win with a view to advancement. Pakistan, without Nida Dar concussed, was unable to bat and got nicely rolled.
- More to Pak
Cricket is played in full-clothes, which made it easier for me to encourage my daughter. It was great to see the Pakistan team play, and it showed my daughters that this is possible. Little girls have been watching men's teams for many years and are still avid fans.
It's a different experience when they start playing. "Watching Harman Preet (Kaur), (Smriti Mandhana) of India, and watching Nida dar, those are role models," Barney said. Sana Mir, then Pakistani captain, said that Pakistan won the Asian Games gold in 2010. She also stated that Sana Mir was the reason that Pakistan realized that women could succeed in sport. Although the follow-up did not materialize, T20 cricket was the best option for a nation devoid of top-level sportswomen.
- We won the fight: Harman
The Indian captain's win against Australia in the World Cup semifinal 2017 is legendary, Harman revealed that there was another fight women had won. When I first started playing cricket, there were no crowds. It was a fight we would have to win to get people to watch us. We had to entertain and perform, play well and win to attract people. Young girls would come up to her and say they wanted to be like her.
She says, "It's nice when they tell us that they love cricket." While the crowd was partisan, it was appreciated the good cricket played by both sides. It's not enough for women to cheer on the men's team from the stands. They must be cheered and out in the middle, hitting big sixes
