The biggest women’s sporting event ever to be held Down Under kicks off on the 21st of this month and the Australian Cricket Board and ICC are teaming up to bring in a record crowd.

Apart from Katy Perry performing at the finals, the just concluded Tri-series between India, England and Australia was used to spread the word as well.

Recent years would suggest that there is a fair chance; they have won 76.56 per cent of their games since the competition began and four of the last five titles. Can they add a fifth? We’ll soon find out.
