1iQ Gaming's video: India W vs Australia W T20 Semi-Final Live Scores IND W vs AUS W T20 World Cup Live Scores Only

Nearly 6 years ago, on a sunny afternoon in Derby, England, the Aussie bowlers were left clueless and were desperately hoping for respite after being witness to a Harmanpreet onslaught that saw India score 145 runs off the final 11 overs in the second semi-final of the 2017 ODI World Cup. India won that game by 36 runs and advanced to the World Cup final. Hurt and bruised, skipper Lanning tried her best not to show any emotions during the post-match press conference of that game. With tears locked in her eyes, Lanning said "We came here to win...obviously...um..not a whole lot of positives. We played some good cricket but only in patches and we weren't able to really put the perfect game together (in the semis), to win a World Cup you gotta be consistent and put together performances back-to-back" Such is the gap between the top three teams in women's cricket and the rest of the pack, that Australia, England and India have not needed to find top gear to reach the semi-finals. Even when they were tasked with performing their highest chase at a T20 World Cup, India beat Pakistan with an over and seven wickets to spare. Australia cruised through their four matches in the group stage without ever looking as though they were straining. The closest they came was when South Africa put on a mildly aggressive opening stand, a threat that was soon neutralised. When a team can somehow fit seven free-scoring batters, four seamers and four spinners into an XI, it represents a lot of artillery for an opposition to break down. That will be the task in front of India, who have largely been solid at this tournament without necessarily catching the eye. Even in Monday's game against a semi-professional, part-time cricket team in Ireland, who dropped five catches, Harmanpreet Kaur's side never fully stamped their authority on proceedings. In the end they won by just five runs when rain intervened. Most teams seem to recognise that the only way to dismantle Australia is by taking the game to them, and India will be following the same approach. "They attack a lot," wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh said. "So, whatever happens to them, even if the batsman is out, they don't leave the attacking. Because they have batters from top to bottom. We also have a batter from top to bottom. So, we will play an attacking game." Whether India are capable of this remains to be seen. They struggled against England's spinners over the weekend, getting bogged down in the middle overs and falling away in their chase. A much-improved showing will be required against Australia's extensive spin line-up. If there is a flicker of optimism, it comes from the fact that Australia have lost just one of their last 21 T20Is since April 2021, and it was to India. Even that, however, was in a Super Over, which shows just how infrequently such opportunities have come along for teams that faced up to Meg Lanning's superstars recently. When: Thursday, February 23 at 3pm local time (6:30 PM IST) Where: Newlands, Cape Town What to expect: Newlands has seen an awful lot of cricket this summer, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the surface is a little tired. That said, Richa Ghosh seemed optimistic about it in the pre-match press conference, saying that it "looked good" and that India could target 180 if their batting clicked. In truth a score of around 160 is likely to be competitive.
