Bowl him over


What’s in a T20 match?? What’s so damn interesting about it that men simply forget about us women? We always wonder how they watch a cricket match for hours together. It looks the same, most often than not.

Either the stumps get rattled, or the ball crosses a boundary or some guy catches the ball… so what keeps them glued? Guess when you can't fight 'em, you join 'em. There are obviously things that we don't seem to understand about a cricket match, especially the T20 format...

So, we asked around and found out 10 reasons why you should join the men:

Conversation starters

You know Sachin Tendulkar and that’s it! But what’s the harm in keeping yourself updated about the latest matches and cricket hotties in the league. You can participate and counter the men in cricket discussions too.

They make for great conversation starters as well. Rattling off names and scores will surely make them more interested in you!

Short and sweet

It’s T20 after all. Just a three-hour game! You surely can sit through that. What's more, you can scream, shout, cheer and hook that guy you've been eyeing with your enthusiasm ;)

Twists and turns

You can never ever predict what happens in any sport let alone cricket. But nothing is more thrilling than when you are routing for a team in a cricket match and there are only 10 balls to go...

You are at the edge of you seat wondering what the next ball has in store. The twists and turns can be more thrilling than a movie. Kuch bhi ho sakta hai… kabhi bhi!

Masala-tainment

You get loads of masala in a T20 match. The inside and off field juicy bytes, cheerleaders, music, excitement – all of it is filmy to say the least!

Men in jerseys

Bored of Bollywood and Hollywood hunks? Turn to cricket. Almost every country has a cricket team!! It’s not only 11 men, but much more than that!

Let your hair down

Lose yourself to the fun and masala of the T20 match. It’s not just cricket, but also about music! You read that right - A DJ plays some great numbers in the background. It’s another reason to party with all your buddies!

So cheer and dance everytime your team hits a six!

Shopping

It’s not everyday that you go to watch a match, be it in a sports bar or a stadium. Wear something sporty! If you don’t have anything suitable, here's another reason to go shopping! Need we say more?

Meet new people

Isn’t a sports bar or a stadium a cool place to make new friends?? Try it and you'd definitely have a more fun-filled experience.

Win-win!

Your guy would be more than happy to have you next to him throughout the match. Who knows he may even take you out for a special dinner or even accompany you to some chick flick (which he would have generally avoided!!) the next time around.

It’s a religion

It is cricket woman - equivalent to religion for men. You can’t avoid it! Sooner or later you are bound to catch this deadly fever…
