After 22 matches in 13 days, we are now left with just two sides who are vying for the title of Women’s World T20 World Cup champions.
Current holders Australia will face India in the T20 World Cup Final at Melbourne tomorrow (March 8th) at 12.30 pm (IST).
In the midweek semi-finals that were ruined by rain, the eagerly awaited match between India and England was ruined by the weather, without a single ball bowled. Due to the farcical situation from the ICC of having no reserve day, it meant that India qualified for the final by virtue of being Group winners.
The other semi-final between South Africa and Australia at least did have some play, with Australia making 134 for 5 in their allocated 20 overs. Meg Lanning top scoring for the holders with 49. Due to rain, South Africa’s target was reduced to 98 in 13 overs. South Africa fell five runs short of their target, eventually finishing up on 92 for 5.
So, we are now left with just two sides who will be competing on Sunday for a chance of World glory.
