Defending champion Australia, bolstered by the likely return of Alyssa Healy, is favourite for the T20 World Cup semi-final against India — but according to Beth Mooney, the side will have to deal with plenty of match-winners on the other side.
abc.net.au/news/australians-face-blockbuster-semi-india-t20-world-cup/102007512The only team Australia's women's cricket team has lost to since March 2021 now stands in the way of another T20 World Cup final.
Defending champion Australia heads into the semi-final at Newlands on Thursday, as favourite, wielding a 3-2 edge over India in T20 World Cup encounters. Five-time winner in seven previous iterations of the 20-over showpiece, Australia is yet to drop a game at the eighth edition in South Africa. But according to batter Beth Mooney, recent precedents of coming up short against India, runners-up of the 2020 T20 World Cup, leaves no room for complacency."They have pushed us significantly in the last few years and got a bunch of match-winners in their line-up as well. So, we're not expecting an easy game by any means.
"As we know, [in] semi-finals everyone's starting from scratch and no-one's got any points leading into that first semi, so now we're going to be on our game from ball one."
