India vs Australia
The first semifinal will be repeat of the T20 World Cup 2020 final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), which Australia managed to win by a massive margin of 85 runs. The Australian side also faced India in the 2022 Commonwealth Games cricket final – the first-ever in women’s cricket – edging out Harmanpreet’s side by nine runs.
Australia are heading into the semifinal with an all-win record while India have lost one match – to Group 2 toppers England – out of their four matches. They have been less than impressive in some of their wins, especially their last clash against Ireland Women, which they managed to win thanks to the DLS method.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur has conceded that India’s inability to rotate strike is a ‘worrying’ sign, adding that the team has been discussing how to address its long-standing dot-ball issue ahead of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 semifinals. India qualified for the semifinals of the marquee event after a five-run win over Ireland via the Duckworth-Lewis method on Monday.
However, rotation of strike remains a huge issue for the Indian team. The 'Women in Blue' struggled with strike rotation in the series against Australia in December and even in the Tri-series that ended earlier this month. The problem has persisted as India consumed 51 and 41 dot balls in the Group 2 games against England and Ireland respectively.
The Indian women's cricket team faces defending champions Australia in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in South Africa, with the hope of winning their first major ICC trophy in a decade. The team secured a spot in the semi-finals after beating Ireland in their last group match, albeit unconvincingly. The team will be seeking to avenge their previous losses to Australia in the 2020 T20 World Cup and Commonwealth Games gold medal match. Australia, who are Group 1 toppers, will look to continue their dominance over India.

In another semi-final, England will be facing South Africa, who secured their spot after recording the highest-ever winning margin in a Women's T20 World Cup in their match against Thailand. England claimed the T20 World Cup in 2009 and finished as Group B leaders, winning all four of their group-stage matches. Nat Sciver-Brunt's unbeaten 81 and Danni Wyatt's 59 set up their victory against Pakistan. Newlands in Cape Town will be hosting the remaining three matches of the T20 World Cup.
“Dot balls are something which (are) already worrying us,” Kaur said at the post-match press conference. “In the next game, we would love to see some improvement in that area also. Against England, we played too many dot balls
