In what promises to be a really exciting and fascinating encounter, fierce-rivals India and Australia will be squaring off against each other in the 18th match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. The Mighty Australians have been at their dominating best in the competition so far, having secured three successive victories, guaranteeing their semi-final spot.
On the other hand, it will be a do-or-die encounter for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team who are currently sitting at the 2nd position in Group A with four points in three matches. If New Zealand win their match against Pakistan and India loses to Australia, then the Women in Blue will get knocked out of the competition.
The Women in Blue have improved in a fantastic fashion in the tournament. Despite getting off to a poor start with a defeat versus the White Ferns in the opening fixture, Harmanpreet Kaur & Co have bounced back with important wins over Pakistan & 2024 Asia Cup winners Sri Lanka.
In the previous match versus the island nation, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur stepped up with the bat big time as she played a quickfire knock of 52 runs in 27 deliveries.
Australia on the other hand, have been perfect with the likes of Megan Schutt and Beth Mooney playing at their best, supported by the pace bowling of Annabel Sutherland.
