Left-arm spin leads women’s T20 wicket-taking charts

Left-arm spin has boomed in women’s cricket in recent years.

Across women’s T20 tournaments over the past two years, it has appeared more often than any other bowling type among the leading wicket-takers.

The investigation looks at why attacks are dominated by left-arm spin, despite left-arm bowlers making up about 10% of the population.

It focuses on women’s T20 cricket, where this pattern has been seen across tournaments.

The trend matters because it raises questions about how teams build their bowling attacks and whether the pattern will continue.

The investigation examines how long the boom may last, but no answer is given.
