Across the globe, women’s cricket is breaking boundaries

In the first 11 matches out of the 33 scheduled for the 2026 women’s T20 World Cup, there have been several surprises, coupled with strong expressions of intent by Australia, India, and England. Margins for error are fine in T20 cricket and New Zealand illustrated that in abundance against the West Indies. Batting first, Izzy Gaze launched the innings with 39 from 29 deliveries. In the space of six deliveries this rapid start was halted by Aaliyah Alleyne. Plimmer, Gaze, and Kerr all fell to catches in similar positions from similar shots, an unusual sequence of events.
