Have you ever heard women playing cricket? Well I have watched them playing live for Women’s Asia Cup held on December 4 in AIT (Asian Institute of Technology). This match was for women only where they battled against another country.

You see women have power to play cricket. Cricket is not an easy game and aside from physical stamina it requires discipline, sportsman spirit, confidence, and a lot of teamwork. And not only men but women also possess all these powers. Which means men and women have equal talents and women should also be respected just like men.

There is no doubt that women are hardworking. They do so much of work but rarely complain. They are the first teacher of a child so why not regard their talents, why not give them opportunities to excel in their field, and why not give them the respect that they deserve.

On December 4, 2016 a cricket match was held between India and Pakistan in AIT. This match was for Women’s Asia Cup. It is played every year in AIT but this was my first time to watch this match.

Actually I was not that much interested in cricket match because I did not understand the game properly so I had no interest in watching it. It felt so boring whenever I heard the word cricket.   But then, one day, my dad said, “Come with us and watch it carefully. You will surely understand it.” So I said, “Okay”! And guess what I started to grow my interest in cricket. I kind of felt proud also of my country’s women team.
​
I also started understanding the game because while the match was on my dad explained the rules and regulations to me. And I really did have a lot of fun there with my dad cheering for our women to win!
Cheers for the Women! You can do it!
