We are confident that both this event and the first-ever Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup that will take place before the senior event leaves a lasting legacy that will help grow girls’ and women’s cricket all over the world.
T20 is the growth vehicle for cricket, and we are certain that this event will take place before the senior event.
“Pholetsi Moseki, the chief executive of Cricket South Africa, expressed optimism that a large number of supporters would show out to see the event despite the relatively high cost of tickets, which began at 60 rands (roughly $3.36 US). “
South Africa is excited for the first match of the tournament, which will take place against Sri Lanka and will demonstrate our level of competition on the field. It will also be a historic event since South Africa will be hosting the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
It will be the first time that our supporters will get the opportunity to see the appealing combination of women’s cricket that will be broadcast all over the world “Moseki remarked.
“This takes place at the same time as there is a growing demand among cricket fans for women’s cricket to be treated as its separate brand. We have decreased the cost of tickets so that all of the supporters will have the chance to go to the stadiums and take part in the excitement.
This will demonstrate that the market for women’s cricket is now up for business.”
