India will face reigning champions Australia in the semi-finals of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 today in Cape Town, South Africa. India, who have been among the top teams in the last five years but have yet to win a major trophy, have made the semi-finals of another ICC event, as expected.
Nonetheless, they have a history of self-destruction, particularly in knockout games against England or Australia.
Australia defeated India in the previous World Cup final at home, as well as in the Commonwealth Games gold medal match last year in Birmingham.

Renuka Thakur, India’s finest bowler in the tournament, with seven wickets thus far, including a five-for-15 performance against England.
Deepti Sharma went for runs in her lone over against Ireland, but she has been the most consistent spinner. Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Radha Yadav will need to be much more accurate against the ferocious Aussies.
