Women's cricket: a new trend in betting
Today, many fans in India cannot imagine their lives without watching women’s cricket broadcasts and betting on it, but just a few years ago, this discipline was overshadowed by men’s competitions. A lot has changed recently. For example, India has created its own Women’s Premier League, which immediately attracted investment, leading to a surge in public interest. 888Starz simply could not stay on the sidelines: we offer one of the best lines on women’s cricket worldwide, and it is now almost on par with the line on men’s tournaments.

Key events for betting
The priority of 888Starz is to ensure that every user can bet on their favourite tournament and team, even if their preferences do not coincide with the mainstream. When it comes to the majority's choice, we most often bet on the following competitions:
- Indian Women's Premier League;
- ICC Women's T20 World Cup;
- ICC Women's Cricket World Cup (ODI);
- Women's Asia Cup;
- Australian WBBL;
- English The Hundred.
Types of bets on women's cricket
The most common bets on women's cricket, as in any other sport, are designed to predict the winner of a match. A match can be either a single game or an entire series - you can bet on either. Betting on a series obviously requires a greater focus on strategy and endurance.
The depth of 888Starz's betting options allows you to bet on the individual successes of athletes, determining in advance the best batter and bowler for each team. For women's cricket, it is very important to have strong leaders on the team, and often it is precisely such a leader who "carries" the entire match for their team.
As in other sports, cricket betting allows you to resort to specific markets, such as total runs or over outcome. Such bets allow you to win where the match seems completely unpredictable, or to keep the intrigue alive in a confrontation where there will definitely be no surprises regarding the winner.
Betting strategies for women's cricket
Women’s cricket is rightly considered to be highly unpredictable, but the basic strategy of a serious bettor, which involves painstakingly studying previous statistics and searching for favourable odds, remains unchanged. It should be noted that in this sport, it is often recommended to pay special attention not so much to the current form of the teams as to the history of their previous head-to-head matches. You can find pre-match statistics directly on 888Starz, among other places.
A variation of pre-match analysis is a targeted search for odds that the player considers to be overvalued. Let’s say you regularly follow your favourite team and have noticed a potential future star, while the bookmaker still underestimates them, offering fairly high odds on their individual success and on them becoming a factor in their team’s victory. Obviously, this may not happen today, but the essence of the strategy is to always bet on events whose odds seem unreasonably high and look like a mistake on the part of the bookmaker.
In order not to waste a lot of time studying statistics and analysis, and to collect possible winnings as quickly as possible, you can place live bets. When the game is already underway, the bettor can rely on the line-ups for the match, see the current form of the athletes, their attitude to victory and their attitude to what is happening. The 888Starz line is extensive enough for you to bet live not only on the outcome, but also on individual segments of the match, for example, by predicting the outcome of the over.
The future of women's cricket in betting
Before the Indian Women's Premier League came along, it might have seemed like an experiment that wasn't sure to find an audience. Today, we're seeing steady interest from both Indian and foreign fans, and other women's cricket tournaments are also growing in popularity. More fans means more bets, and for us, this is an incentive to work on offering bettors an even more interesting line with a deep selection. An increase in the number of competitive tournaments and the emergence of new rivalries are just around the corner, so the future of women's cricket in betting looks very promising.
Conclusion
Most sports take many generations to become truly popular and widespread, but women’s cricket breaks the mould: a few years ago, it was a spectacle for a select few connoisseurs, but now it attracts huge audiences and is featured in the 888Starz line-up alongside men’s cricket. For bettors, betting on women’s cricket means unpredictability and intense emotions, a large selection of tournaments with live broadcasts right on our website, as well as the opportunity to outsmart the bookmaker by noticing in time that we have underestimated the importance of one of the athletes for her team.
