Preview

Australia Women (AUS-W) will clash against South Africa Women (SA-W) in the final of the Women's T20 World Cup 2023 at Newlands in Cape Town on Sunday (February 26). After topping Group 1 with four wins, Australia beat India in the first semi-final match to book a spot in the final. Beth Mooney smashed 54 off 37, and captain Meg Lanning scored 49* to help Australia reach 172 runs for the loss of four wickets while batting first. Then Darcie Brown and Ashleigh Gardner took two wickets each to pull off a narrow five-run win.

South Africa lost the opening game against Sri Lanka and a group-stage match against Australia. But they managed to reach the final with a ten-wicket win against Bangladesh in the last group stage game. They pulled off a further better performance against England in the second semi-final. Tazmin Brits and Laura Wolvaardt smashed the fifties to post a total of 164/4, Ayabonga Khaka took four wickets, and Shabnim Ismail took three to restrict England to just 158/8/ to earn a six-run win.

South Africa are playing in the final for the first time, and home conditions will boost their chances. But they have lost all of their last five T20I games against Australia, who have lifted this trophy on a record five occasions.
