Pictures of women playing cricket in traditional attire has taken the internet by storm. The images were posted by ICC Europe from their official Twitter account. The women can be seen playing cricket in the snow in Norway. This comes a few days after the International Women's day. Women's cricket has bloomed in the last decade or so, with more and more girls taking up the sport. The quality of women's cricket has also gone up, which has allowed the sport to flourish. Women's cricket is no less entertaining than men's cricket, which is great to see.
Women's cricket World Cup is also being played in New Zealand right now. From Indian players playing with the daughter of Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof to Deandra Dottin grabbing one of the finest catches in cricket history, the tournament has already gained a lot of limelight.
Meanwhile, speaking about the pictures, the girls in the pictures are from Vestli Cricket Club. "Meet the ladies from Vestli Cricket Club in Norway, proving that cricket is a game played anywhere, anytime and by anyone" read the caption of the tweet.

Speaking of Women's World Cup, the Indian team has done well in the tournament so far, as they have won two of their three matches. At first, they dominated the match against arch-rivals Pakistan. Then, they lost their next match to the hosts New Zealand. India then made a comeback in the match against West Indies and defeated the Women from Caribbean by 155 runs.
After three matches, India stands at the top of the points table, followed by Australia and New Zealand. Meanwhile, India will play their next match against England women on March 16th.
