Greatest Female Batsmen in Cricket History

From Belinda Clarke to Fitzpatrick to Mithali Raj, Sarah Taylor to Smriti Mandhana, there have been many great female batsmen in the world of cricket. As cricket has become more professional over the years, there have been a lot of changes in how women play the game. Women’s cricket is very different from men’s cricket. There is less space between the lines, and the ball is lighter.
