Women's T20 WC: 'Molineux Is A Game Changer,' Says McGrath On Captain's Successful Injury Return
T20 World Cup: Australia's narrow defeat to South Africa in an unofficial Women's T20 World Cup warm-up fixture may have denied them a winning start to their preparations, but the return of captain Sophie Molineux provided a significant positive ahead of the global showpiece, and for vice-captain Tahlia McGrath, the performance was a timely reminder of the value the skipper brings to the Australian side.
Playing her first match since February after recovering from a back injury, Molineux wasted little time making an impact. The left-arm spinner struck with her very first delivery, dismissing Sune Luus, before removing Dane van Niekerk two balls later, finishing with figures of 2/17 from three overs.
"First of all, it's nice to have her bowling. Not bowling in (Australia's recent white-ball series in) the West Indies, it was awesome to see her with ball in hand as she takes wickets for fun,” McGrath said after the game.
