Female cricketers with more fifties

Female cricket is getting more and more visibility, especially in the last ten years. Once considered a “just for men” sport, like soccer was, now female cricket has thousands of athletes challenging themselves to reach the highest point in their professional career. 

When you are a batsman, a half-century is very important or actually is the most important thing to get going. It takes a lot of technique, training and patience, but in most of the cases, the batsmen (or women, in this particular case) convert the fifty to a bigger score. 

This kind of situation is very common in ODI’s and of course it is the same, both for men and women. So here on our website we will take in consideration some of the best female cricketers with most half-century during their whole ODI career. Let’s check some statistics as datas as reported on http://latest-bettingsites.co.uk/
