Harmanpreet Kaur’s team India, led by Meg Lanning, will take on defending world champions Australia in the first semi-final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 in Cape Town on Thursday (February 23). In the other semi-final, hosts South Africa will face England Women in the second semi-final on Friday (February 24).

The first semi-final will be a repeat of the T20 World Cup 2020 final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), which Australia managed to win by a huge margin of 85 runs. The Australian side also faced India in the cricket final of the 2022 Commonwealth Games – a first in women’s cricket – defeating Harmanpreet’s team by nine runs.

Australia head into the semi-finals with an all-win record, while India have lost just one of their four matches – against Group 2 toppers England. They have been less than impressive in some of their wins, most notably their last clash against Ireland Women, which they managed to win thanks to the DLS method.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur has admitted that India’s inability to rotate strike is a ‘worrying’ sign, adding that the team is discussing the issue long ahead of the semi-finals of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. How to solve the dot-ball problem. India on Monday qualified for the semi-finals of the marquee event after a five-run win over Ireland under the Duckworth-Lewis method.

However, strike rotation is a huge issue for the Indian team. The ‘Women in Blue’ have struggled with strike rotation in the series against Australia in December and even in the tri-series that ended earlier this month. The problem persisted as India consumed 51 and 41 dot balls in the Group 2 matches against England and Ireland respectively.

“Dot balls are something that is already troubling us,” Kaur said at the post-match press conference. “In the next game, we would love to see some improvement in that area as well. We played a lot of dot balls against England. We have already discussed such things in the team meeting. But sometimes, when the other team is bowling very well, at the end of the day, when you get 150, this wicket is like that, it’s a par score for you.”
