The five-time winners of Women's T20 World Cup, Australia, snatched the win from the jaws of defeat in the Semi-final against India Women on Thursday, to let the world remember why they are the most successful sides in the women's cricket. Meg Lanning-led side after putting an ideal knockout total of 174 runs on the board, were out of the seen when the duo of Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues were batting in the middle. It was only after an unfortunate dismissal of both the batters, when Australia Women started creeping back into the game, thanks to some incredible fielding efforts. The record time champions will be sweating harder in order to defend their title on Sunday.

South Africa Women, on the other hand, went on to create a history at the home soil after defeating unbeaten England Women by 6 runs in the semi-final and mark their first ever entry into the final of the marquee event. Not one or two players, but the whole team of South Africa put up a combined show on Friday infront of the responsive home crowd at Newlands Cricket Ground to earn their side the ticket to epic final. Whether, Marizanne Kapp's 27 run cameo of 13 balls or Ayabonga Khaka's 18th over which saw three scalps from the underrated pacer and shifted the win predictor completely  or Shabnim Ismail's class final over to defend 13, it all turned out to be a perfect team work.

Tazmin Brits knock of 68 off 55 and some brilliant catching on the field yielded her a player of the match award. Sune Luus-led team made a remarkable comeback in the tournament after an opening defeat in group stage against Sri Lanka Women. Having faced a defeat already, at the hands of Australia Women in group stage, the host nation, however, looks very promising this time when they take on mighty Aussies on Sunday and hope to etch down the history.
