Anjum Chopra, a former cricketer for India, is rooting for India to have a “poor day” against Meg Lanning and Australia in the tense semifinal match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. On Thursday, February 23, the two cricketing behemoths will face off in a thrilling match at Newlands in Cape Town.
By defeating Ireland, Harmanpreet Kaur and company secured a spot in the main event’s final four. After four straight victories, the powerful Australians are firmly seated atop Group A.
Anjum Chopra, a former captain of India, stated that every team will inevitably have a bad game, and she added that she hoped Australia would also have a “bad day” against India in the semifinal match.
“Australia has a solid foundation. Their home arrangement is excellent. They have several of options for replacements. The other player enters if the first one is struggling. They are adept at recovering from adversity to win games. They know how to compete well in major competitions. They basically know everything,” Anjum said in a preview of the thrilling competition posted on her YouTube channel.
But everyone experiences awful days occasionally. In the same way that we and they are both cricket teams, so are we. At least one unpleasant day is possible for them. I really hope India has a good day and Australia has a horrible day when they play India in the semifinal. I want an Indian victory and a really competitive match at Newlands,” she continued.
Australia might win its sixth world championship.
Notably, the Australians are a force to be reckoned with and have five T20 World Cup championships to their credit. After defeating the Women in Blue, the defending champions will be looking to lock up their place in the event’s championship match.
Furthermore, Australia defeated team India 4-1 in a five-match T20I series played away from home in December 2022. Team India, on the other hand, will try to bounce back from their losses to Australia and attempt to pull off a “upset” given that the latter has triumphed in 22 of their 30 T20I games overall and the former only six.
