It is good for us as we will get financial support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents in Bangladesh who don&#8217;t want to let their daughters take up sports and only want them to study for a job or business. They will be inspired by this and will be motivated to send their daughters to play cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tigresses will be led by captain Nigar Sultana, who also praised the move as part of broader positive changes happening within women\u2019s cricket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoney is always motivating,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a good thing and in women&#8217;s cricket, we are seeing a lot of changes. That is happening in Bangladesh as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the whole team, it looks like if we can do well, we can achieve good things in life. From that point of view, it makes us happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tournament sees 10 teams face off in the UAE, where defending champions Australia will look to retain the title they won a year ago in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The Proteas were runners-up last year and begin their campaign to go one better against West Indies in Dubai on Friday (12pm).<\/p>\n<p>West Indies captain Hayley Matthews was among those to praise the move towards equal prize money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt puts a lot of respect on the game. As women and as professional cricketers we go out there and work super-hard every day, just as hard as the men do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are all on the world stage the same way so to get equal prize money is a huge thing. Hopefully we can see more stuff like that being done and going across the board all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About 150 of the globe\u2019s most exciting players have gathered in the UAE for the ninth edition of a tournament. The 10 teams will play 23 matches to decide which side will be crowned world champions.<\/p>\n<p>The players will do battle across two of the world\u2019s leading cricket venues, Sharjah Cricket Stadium and Dubai International Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two venues can be quite different,\u201d said England all-rounder Freya Kemp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are relatively similar but there are some subtle differences. It will be a case of who assesses the conditions quickest and adapts the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Australia have refined the art of adapting over the years and travelled to the Middle East with designs on winning a landmark fourth successive Women\u2019s T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>They have twice won three in a row and fell short of making it four in 2016, when West Indies pulled off an eight-wicket win at Eden Gardens in Kolkata to capture their first title.<\/p>\n<p>Australia have a new captain in Alyssa Healy but the same ruthless mentality, with Annabel Sutherland and Phoebe Litchfield adding pep to their established core of big names.<\/p>\n<p>Australia\u2019s Group A clash against India in Sharjah on October 13 is a headline match of the early fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>The clash is a rematch of the 2020 final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. India may subject the defending champions to a trial by spin, with tweakers Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav particularly effective in the shortest form of the game.<\/p>\n<p>The opening game in Group A is a cracker, too, with Sri Lanka facing Pakistan in a rerun of the recent Asia Cup semifinal won by the former. World No 3 ranked New Zealand complete a fearsome pool.<\/p>\n<p>In Group B, South Africa will hope to be one of the closest challengers. They have global event momentum on their side having reached a maiden final on home soil two years ago, and captaincy appears to have brought the best out of Laura Wolvaardt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReaching our first World Cup final in 2023 was a major moment for us,\u201d Wolvaardt said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a big \u2018breaking the barriers and pushing the boundaries\u2019 moment for the team. Now we&#8217;d like to go one step further and lift the trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>South Africa\u2019s Group B clash with England on October 7 is another to look out for, as Jon Lewis\u2019 side continue to espouse an attacking style in their bid to capture major silverware.<\/p>\n<p>Also in Group B are original hosts Bangladesh, who can call on no fewer than five spinners to exploit conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Only the top two teams in the stacked, five-strong groups will reach the semifinals on October 17.<\/p>\n<p><b>This week&#8217;s Women&#8217;s T20 World Cup fixtures (SA times) <\/b>Thursday:<\/p>\n<p>Bangladesh v Scotland (12pm)<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan v Sri Lanka (4pm)<\/p>\n<p><b>Friday: <\/b><\/p>\n<p>South Africa v West Indies (12pm)<\/p>\n<p>India v New Zealand (4pm)<\/p>\n<p><b>Saturday: <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Australia v Sri Lanka (12pm)<\/p>\n<p>Bangladesh v England (4pm)<\/p>\n<p><b>Sunday: <\/b><\/p>\n<p>India v Pakistan (12pm)<\/p>\n<p>West Indies v Scotland (4pm)<\/p>\n<p><b>International Cricket Council<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
