Want to read a preview of the semi-final by Raf Nicholson? Go on then. She caught up with Windies skipper Hayley Matthews ahead of the crunch semi-final.
“There is an added fire to us when people think we can’t get the job done.”
A tale of two journeys for each of the teams to this point. The West Indies were three from three, before suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of England and then a shock loss to Ireland – for whom it was their first ever World Cup victory at the 21st time of asking.
Meanwhile, Australia? Well…the margins of victory read: 65 runs, nine wickets, 98 runs, 113 runs and six wickets. Their match against India threatened briefly to be close, but then there was an Ellyse Perry and Ash Gardner masterclass.
Welcome one, welcome all to another OBO liveblog and far more importantly the first semi-final of the T20 Women’s World Cup.
It’s Australia vs West Indies. And there’s no two ways about it, the robots from Down Under are heavy, heavy favourites. They’ve demolished everything in their path so far, but the Windies are known for springing a surprise or two so stay tuned.
