And Australia have beaten India. What a match this has been, as India came close but eventually fell short by just five runs! The Women in Blue did well for a good part of their run chase, but that Harmanpreet Kaur dismissal really changed the game. Australia, on the other hand, continue their dominance and have marched onto yet another final. India have a lot to be proud of but Australia were clinical in the end.

What a response this has been from the two right-handers.

Ahead of this crucial encounter, India have been dealt a major blow with pacer Pooja Vastrakar ruled out of the match due to an upper tract infection. Moreover, captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s participation is in jeopardy with her reportedly who is down with fever. Sneh Rana has been named as Pooja Vastrakar’s replacement. It would be a big blow if Harmanpreet Kaur was to miss out and Smriti Mandhana, one of India’s standout performers, will then lead the side.

This match is a repeat of the final of the T20 World Cup 2020 final where Australia won the relatively one-sided contest. India will believe that they can outplay the mighty Australians but the defending champions, one of the two undefeated sides in the tournament so far, will start the match as favourites to reach the final.
