In top form after blowing away rival teams one after another except England, a formidable India will be facing an upbeat Australia in what promises to be an explosive semi-final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on Thursday. A semi-final of a World Cup is not played on paper and therefore there would be very little to separate the two teams when they square off on a bright Thursday afternoon at the Newlands Cricket Stadium in Cape Town. 

On the basis of current form, India finished in the second spot in Group 2 with three wins and a loss from four games, walking away with six points in the table. Australia, on the other hand, finished at the top of Group 1 with eight points after winning all four games they played in the tournament so far.
