Women's T20 WC: The Way We Bounced Back Was Really Pleasing, Says Molineux After Australia's Win
T20 World Cup: Australia captain Sophie Molineux praised her side's ability to recover from a difficult start and hailed Phoebe Litchfield's growing confidence after the six-time champions opened their Women's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign with a commanding 65-run victory over South Africa at Emirates Old Trafford on Saturday.
Australia were rocked early after being sent in to bat, losing Georgia Voll for a duck and Beth Mooney for seven against the new-ball pace of Marizanne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail. However, Litchfield's explosive 51 off 24 balls, along with useful contributions from Georgia Wareham, Ellyse Perry, and Annabel Sutherland, lifted Australia to 172/8 before their bowlers dismissed South Africa for 107.
Reflecting on the performance, Molineux was pleased with the way her side responded after the early setbacks.
