Alyssa Healy, who has been one of the standout performers in women's international cricket.

Pitch and Conditions

Bonus Cricket Bets
Alyssa Healy is likely to be a top contender for the highest run-scorer, given her consistent performances at the top of the batting order. Healy has 332 runs in her last ten Women's T20Is. A bet on her would not be too risky.
Boundary fours are much more common than boundary sixes. Both teams may start off more conservatively in the opening few overs of their tournament. They may look to keep the ball along the ground. This should be a secure bet.
The new ball will still be hard and new in the first over. That means it should ping off the bat in the opening over. Given the nature of the Women's T20I format, teams will be looking to score boundaries. This is a worthwhile bet.
