After notching a comfortable six-wicket win in their last league match against India, the Aussies are all ready for their next opponent.<\/p>\n<p>The West Indies\u2019 route to the final hardly resembles Australia\u2019s. While Australia beat South Africa, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and Pakistan before facing its strongest rival India, the Caribbeans have just scraped through to the semifinal, to be played at the Oval on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><b>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/womens-cricket\/ellyse-perry-ashleigh-gardner-partnership-india-vs-australia-women-t20-world-cup-2026\/article71165438.ece\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Perry and I have great understanding: Gardner after knocking India out of Women\u2019s T20 World Cup<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hayley Matthews\u2019 women, in fact, suffered a shock loss in their match, to Ireland. And that was right after losing to host England. They haven\u2019t done that well against Australia in the recent bilateral meetings as well. They lost all the three ODIs and as many T20Is when they hosted the mighty Aussies at home just three months away.<\/p>\n<p>So, the West Indies has nothing to lose. A point Matthews tried to drive home at the press conference on the eve ahead of the semifinal.<\/p>\n<p>She also spoke of how the big guns in the team, like Deandra Dottin, Stafanie Taylor and herself, haven\u2019t fired yet. There hasn\u2019t been a fifty even between all of them. There cannot be a better platform than this to help their team.<\/p>\n<p>For the Australians, all have all been delivering. With the kind of talents at its disposal, it is easily the most intimidating side in women\u2019s cricket. That it hasn\u2019t won an ICC World Cup, in any format, for three years should motivate it further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jun 30, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/womens-cricket\/australia-vs-west-indies-womens-t20-world-cup-2026-semifinal-preview-matthews-perry-aus-v-wi-updates\/article71165490.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London is cooling down.
