Before the men lifted their first World Cup in 1975, the women had already done it in 1973. Yet that story was quietly forgotten.This episode of Cricktake revisits the rise, neglect, and revival of women’s cricket - from Rachael Heyhoe Flint’s pioneering World Cup to the WPL’s packed stadiums and Australia’s blueprint for professionalization.
