T20 Women’s World Cup 2024/25, AUS-W vs SA-W First Match Report Second Final, October 17, 2024

South Africa he chose to throw vs Australia

South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt won the toss and put in Alyssa Healy-less Australia to bat first in the first semi-final of the Women’s World Cup T20 2024. The match is a replay of the final in the last edition.

Six-time champions Australia continued to miss their captain Healy, who was down without a moonboot. “Healy continues and continues to be tested” was the official word from the Australian camp. They went into their last league match unchanged, where they won by nine runs against India, with Grace Harris in the opening batting and Beth Mooney, who will again keep wicket.

Opting to bowl first, Wolvaardt thought the ball “came better in the second half”. South Africa has not changed either.

The ground had two matches – New Zealand vs India and India vs Sri Lanka – earlier in the tournament but there was not much grass on Thursday. “This field has more runs compared to others because the color is lighter,” said Sana Mir in the field report. He also said that something quickly threw them. The boundaries of the square were 57 meters and 63 meters, and the vertical was 73 meters.

South Africa won their first T20I against Australia earlier this year.
