Germany Women's team to tour Austria for 5 Match T20I series from 12-15th August

Women’s Cricket across the world has been on a backfoot since March this year, as soon as the pandemic restrictions were declared. Fans around the world were deprived of quality cricket matches the past 4-5 months. But recently, there has been some good news floating around and brought back the hopes of following live cricket. After BCCI announced Women’s T20 Challenge in UAE last week, all eyes are now waiting for the much-awaited women’s tour of the year.

There is also some good news coming in from Austria, where the first women’s international cricket tour since the coronavirus pandemic is going to be played. Germany women’s cricket team is touring Austria for a 5 Match T20 bilateral series between 12th to 15th August. One game will be played each day, except for the 13th which will see a double-header.
