India will be up against Australia in the first semifinal of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 in a repeat of the 2020 final. However, while on that instance Australia had come out on top, this time around the Women in Blue would want to avenge that and several other heart-shattering defeats against the same opponent including the Commonwealth Games 2022 final loss.
Australia have dominated India in women’s cricket and the head-to-head record suggests the same. The two teams have come against each other a total of 30 times in T20Is out of which they have on 22 occasions and lost 6. One match ended in a tie while the other was a no result.
Despite that record stacked in favour of Australia, the Meg Lanning-led side would be aware that their only defeat in the shortest format of the game in the last 22 months came against India which makes this such a mouth-watering contest. Even when we look at the Women’s T20 World Cup, India have stunned the Aussies twice while facing a defeat three times which is enough indication of how close the rivalry has been even when Australia have won the knockout fixtures.
