India eves are now just two decisive steps away from laying their hands-on the conveted Women’s World Cup. Mithali Raj and her girls stormed into the finals in adominating fashion, registering a record breaking 186 runs win over New Zealand at the Conuty Ground to set the upcoming semi-final clash with Australia on Jusly 20th at the very same venue. The winner will meet either England or South Africa at the Lord’s in the all – important finals of the marquee event.
Backed by 6 wins out of 7 league matches, Australia begin as the favourites. The Meg Lanning-led side also have an psycoligical upper hand having thrashed Indian by 8 wickets barely a few days ago.
But, at the same time, it would be highly insensible to sideline India as potential favourites entirely. They have been slightly hot and cold but on their day promise to completely blow away their opponents. Their victories over England and New Zealand speak for their authorative showings.
Therefore, it would be safe to conclude the second semi- finals between the Southern stars and Women in Blue promises to be a intense contest where two equally worthy contestant will test each others capabilties.
