Australia
The Australian women’s cricket team has shown great skill in this tournament. With new captain Alyssa Healy, they have kept up the success from the previous captain, Meg Lanning.
Australia won all four of their matches in Group A. They started strong with a six-wicket win against Sri Lanka, followed by a big 60-run win over New Zealand. They also beat Pakistan and India, winning by nine wickets and nine runs, respectively.
However, Australia has some injury problems before the semi-finals. Captain Healy missed the match against India, and fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck cannot play for the rest of the tournament. Despite these issues, Australia is still a strong team, having won the last three ICC Women’s T20 World Cups.

Still, the Black Ferns bounced back with two wins in a row, defeating Sri Lanka by eight wickets and Pakistan by 54 runs, securing their spot in the knockout stages of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
