The ICC Women's T20 World Cup is at its business end as the semi-final fixtures are set to begin from today. To book a place in the final the teams of India and Australia will set foot on the Newlands Cricket Ground. While both the teams had a sublime World Cup till now, nothing will matter at tjis stage as it is the ultimate encounter. With the margin for error nil, both the teams would look to get hold of the match from the beginning.
To pay heed to the same, Richa Ghosh, who has played a monumental role in India's victories, came out in front of the media on the eve of the match to give a sneak peek into India's plan for the match. Richa states that India would look to attack from the outset, however, also said that the team is wary of the threat that Australia possess.
"We know the weak spot of Australia and we are planning against it but I will not say what that (weakness) is because then they will come prepared." She also said, "They attack a lot. So, whatever happens to them, even if the batter is out, they don't leave the attacking. Because they have batters from top to bottom. We also have batter from top to bottom. So, we will play an attacking game."
