In the Semi-Final 1 of the current Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, defending champion Australia Women (AUS-W) will play South Africa Women (SA-W) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Thursday, October 17.
The Australian women, who are well-known for their aggressive style of cricket, performed admirably in the main event. With convincing victories in all four league games, the team won Group A. The competition is getting closer to the knockout stage, so the defending champions will need to step up their game.
However, the team captained by Laura Wolvaardt has advanced to the tournament’s next stage. The South African team won three games and lost only one against England during the group round. The team is eager to return to the field and contend for the final spot, though, given the increased obstacles that lie ahead.

Initially, the batters will need to exercise patience, but as the game progresses, they will be able to shorten their innings.
