Women's T20 World Cup: Beth Mooney Hits Fifty, Meg Lanning Slams 49* As Australia Post 172/4 Against India
Left-handed opener Beth Mooney hit a delightful 53 while captain Meg Lanning applied finishing touches with 49 not out as Australia posted a strong 172/4 against India in the first semifinal of 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup at Newlands Cricket Ground on Thursday.
Australia's big players lived up to their reputation of coming good in a crunch knockout game as Beth, in her 37-ball knock, hit seven fours and a six apart from earning a reprieve, while Meg was outstanding in her 34-ball unconquered stay, hitting four boundaries and two sixes, to make up for a slow start to take 103 runs off the last ten overs.
