The women’s T20 World Cup bats off in South Africa tomorrow morning, and the Aussies are in excellent form despite a surprise loss to Ireland in a warm-up match on Wednesday. Our reigning champs are the clear favourites to win after taking out the last 2 World Cups and gold at last year’s Commonwealth Games. The 15-strong squad includes veteran captain Meg Lanning, vice-captain Alyssa Healy, and T20 player of the year Tahlia McGrath – but there are a few newbies to watch, including Irish-born Kim Garth. And there’s Heather Graham, who impressed with a hat-trick against India in her international T20 debut in December. Hosts South Africa will open the tournament with a match against Sri Lanka tomorrow, while the Aussies are up against the Kiwis on Sunday morning. Go you good things… And here’s a good guide to all 10 teams battling for finals glory on 26 February.
