Women's T20 World Cup: Australia Win Toss, Elect To Bat First Against India In First Semifinal

By IANS News February 23, 2023 • 20:23 PM View: 1443

Australia captain Meg Lanning has won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the first semi-final of the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town on Thursday.

Hours before the semifinal, India's fast-bowling all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with an upper respiratory tract infection, with Sneh Rana named as her replacement in the squad. There were concerns over Harmanpreet Kaur's availability due to fever but is now fit to play in the semi-final.
