Women’s T20 League 2023: Top 5 Openers to watch out for

The Women’s T20 League is a big step forward for the women’s game. The first-ever franchise women’s T20 League of India is sure to aid greatly in the development of youngsters like its male counterpart has done for the men’s game. A big part of these leagues is the opportunity young players get to share dressing rooms and train together with proven stars of the game. Many such stars will be taking part in the upcoming Women’s T20 League.

Some of these stars are proven experts in opening the batting for their sides. Here are the five biggest names among opening batters who can light up the upcoming tournament.

5. Shafali Verma (Delhi)

We kickstart this list with an Indian name. Although Shafali Verma has not played exceptionally well in the recently concluded Women’s 20-20 World Cup, she still merits consideration in this list. The fact that she would be playing in home conditions in the upcoming Women’s T20 League increases the amount of expectations set on her.

In the Women’s 20-20 World Cup, she has been largely inconsistent with the highest score of 33 against Pakistan. She is adept at providing her team with a good start and that is one quality that gets her into this list at number 5. She will be playing for the Delhi franchise and has had the experience of playing franchise cricket in the Women’s Big Bash League.
