On Thursday, February 23, at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town, the crucial semifinal match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 will feature India and Australia. India finished second in their group to secure a berth in the top four teams overall, while Australia dominated their group and advanced as the first team to the knockout stage.
When Women in Yellow toured India in December 2022, Australia and India last faced off. The Women in Blue could only manage one victory to their petty, while the Australians maintained their dominance throughout the series with four victories. The two teams last competed against one another in the T20 World Cup finals of the 2020 international competition, where Australia won the trophy for a record-breaking fifth time.
Having only lost one game to England during the group stages, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team enter the match with some positive momentum. Smriti Mandhana’s timely form has helped India’s batting hold up throughout the competition. Renuka Singh, who has taken seven wickets in the tournament so far, has led the Indian bowling attack.
The addition of Alyssa Healy back into the mix gave Australia a much-needed boost. Due to a quad injury, the wicketkeeper-batter missed Australia’s final group match; however, skipper Meg Lanning has now announced that she is fit and available.
