In the late past, Australia has shown to be a thorn for India. They beat India in the final of the last edition of the T20 World Cup, knocked the Women in Blue from the semi-finals of the ODI World Cup in 2021, and also strike them to secure a gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham(City in England).
The disclosure that India has acknowledged Australia’s weak spot and intends to exploit it, Richa said on the eve of the semi-final:
“We know the weak point of Australia and we are preparations against it but I will not say what that (weakness) is because then they will come ready.
Richa also stated that India intends to play an assault game much like their Australian equivalent. She continued:
“They attack a lot. So, whatever happens to them, even if the batter is out, they don’t leave the attacking. Because they have batters from top to bottom. We also have batter from top to bottom. So, we will play an attacking game.”
Australia engaged its group-stage crusade with a 6-wicket victory over South Africa. The Aussies are the defending champions and have victory the Women’s T20 World Cup title 5 times.
