Premium Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 preview: Watch out for Renuka Thakur’s bowling, Tahlia McGrath’s all-round skills, Pakistan’s lower-order hitters Ahead of the first match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup -- a tournament replete with storylines and potential newsmakers -- here are the biggest talking points.

With 23 scalps from 24 T20Is since the start of 2022, s...
