With the womens game rising in popularity, I have decided to administer the female counterpart of the World Twenty20.
Given that the pace is more sedate compare to the mens game, the points scoring system is slightly different. This is effectively on a trial run basis and subject to review after the tournament is concluded.
Rules
Select 11 players, no restrictions on who to pick.
Tournament format is 2 groups of 5, top two qualify for the semi-final stage
Batting
For every run scored 1 point
If a batsman scores 25 she will get additional 10 points
+10 for every further increment of 25 scored
Someone who has a strike rate of of above 80% will get additional 10pts, above 100% additional 20pts and above 133% additional 30pts provided the batsman has scored at least 15 runs.
Bowling
25 pts per wicket plus
5 points bonus for maiden over
10 pt bonus for a 2fer
20 pt bonus for a 4fer
If a bowler has an economy rate of <=4.0 and has bowled at least 2 overs, she will receive a 30 point bonus
If a bowler has an economy rate of<=5.0 and has bowled at least 2 overs, she will receive a 20 point bonus.
If a bowler has an economy rate of <=6.0 and has bowled at least 2 overs, she will receive a 10 point bonus
Fielding
10 points for each catch taken and stumping.
20 points for sole run out (10 each if shared)
10 pt bonus for being involved in 3 catches / run-outs / stumpings
Teams to be in before 10am GMT on Tuesday 15th March, or 15.30hrs IST
Good luck and happy selecting
