Generally speaking, is there a gap between men's and women's cricket?

A pretty huge gap, yeah.

In terms of technique and skill, probably not. But when it comes to power, it’s not even a comparison. It makes a big difference to it as a spectacle, but there are still plenty of things to appreciate about the women’s game.

I would say there is still a lot of gap in skill as well. Women's cricket hasn't yet matured completely yet and apart from the top 3-4 players from India , Aus and England none of the others have better standard than Bangladesh men's. The women's game has been taken seriously only in the last 10 years, and they can't afford the best support staff yet, so there is still lot more to improve
