Women’s World Cup preview: Australia looks to rebound from 2017 heartbreak
The HinduCricket powerhouse Australia will bid to win a seventh Women’s World Cup at the global tournament in New Zealand after suffering a shock loss in the 2017 semifinals. Australia's women have barely put a foot wrong since India knocked them out of the last four in 2017, beating world champion England at the recent Ashes and thrashing the Indians for the T20 World Cup title two years ago on home soil. Beaumont key to England’s chances England will again be led by 2017 World Cup-winning skipper Heather Knight and boast a raft of players who shared in that success, including player of the tournament Tammy Beaumont. New Zealand will hope to emulate the team that claimed the country's sole World Cup title in 2000 with a four-run victory over Australia in the final in Christchurch.
