INDORE: Australia Women’s team captain Tahlia McGrath chose to field first against England after winning the toss in the ICC Women’s World Cup match in Indore.
With nine points apiece from five games, both teams have advanced to the next round and are undefeated in the prestigious competition thus far.
Australia began the tournament with a decisive victory against New Zealand, but the weather marred their second match, forcing the reigning champions to settle for splitting a point with Sri Lanka.
The seven-time champions secured their place in the semi-finals by winning their subsequent three matches against Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.
Alyssa Healy, Australia’s captain, will miss the crucial match due to a strained calf.
Meanwhile, England had begun their campaign with three victories in a row over South Africa, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. The Nat Sciver-Brunt-led side next drew with Pakistan before winning again against India.
