Google Doodle Celebrates Start of Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022
The Women’s Cricket World Cup, which kicks off today at Bay Oval Stadium in New Zealand, is the inspiration for today’s Doodle.
In 1844, Canada and the United States played their first international cricket match. The 1973 Women’s World Cup was also won by England, the defending champions this year. This year’s tournament will feature eight teams from around the world.
Cricket’s reputation for fair play and good sportsmanship is unwavering, no matter how heated the competition becomes. To describe something unfairly, the phrase “It’s just not cricket” came into use
All the best to the teams competing!
