T20的魅力
The T20 format lasts about three hours, making cricket more spectatory, and spectators can see the results on match day, unlike Test cricket, which can last up to five days. In T20 matches, risk-taking can lead to chaos, but in the midst of this chaos, the spirit of cricket shows its purest expression. A more aggressive style of batting breathes life into the game, igniting the passion of the game and creating memorable moments that will be remembered by cricket enthusiasts forever.
参赛队伍有哪些？
ICC女子T20世杯A组包括六次冠军得主澳大利亚，她们赢得了过去三届比赛的冠军，目前以8/11的赔率最被看好捧杯。2020年亚军印度实力强劲，由Harmanpreet Kaur担任队长，并自信能够捧杯，以7/2的赔率并列第二热门。新西兰排名T20第五，以22/1的赔率被认为是黑马。巴基斯坦的夺冠机会微弱，赔率为100/1。斯里兰卡拥有明星击球手Chamari Athapaththu，赔率为33/1，可能是值得关注的球队之一。
B组包括原瓒主办国孟加拉，赔率为250/1。与其并列第二热门的是由ICC T20和一日国际赛（ODI）排名第一的投手Sophie Ecclestone带领的英格兰，赔率为7/2。去年的亚军南非是另一个诱人的外部选择，赔率为18/1，而2016年的冠军西印度群岛由全能球员Hayley Matthews带队，赔率为20/1。苏格兰首次通过击败爱尔兰进入女子T20世杯，以1500/1的赔率被认为是最大的冷门。
谁将夺冠？
很难不看好由一群传奇和新星组成的强大澳大利亚。然而，英格兰在去年夏天的灰烬系列赛T20阶段击败了她们，并且在一日国际赛系列赛中以2-1取胜。英格兰有望进入决赛，尽管如果根据赔率预测，她们将在半决赛中遇到印度，这场比赛充满变数，尤其是新星希里扬卡·帕蒂尔（Shreyanka Patil）和阿莎·索博哈娜（Asha Sobhana）渴望表现。
The first match was originally scheduled to be hosts Bangladesh against Scotland, followed by Pakistan against Sri Lanka. The will compete for honor, fame and fortune, with the champion taking home a record $2.34 million (?1.756 million) in prize money. It is also an incentive for teams to break Australia’s dominance and leave their name in cricket history.
