How women's cricket differs

Women's cricket uses the same laws and formats as men's with two physical differences: a slightly smaller, lighter ball (about 140-151g vs 156-163g) and shorter boundaries (women about 55-64 meters vs men roughly 59-82 — around 10-20 meters shorter). Overs, wickets, scoring, and dismissals are identical. The Women's Hundred, WPL (India), and WBBL (Australia) are the top T20-style leagues.
