Mount Maunganui: The current winners and runners-up of the Women’s Cricket World Cup will face off on Wednesday. England and India are in the running. If Mithali Raj’s team goes down for a third win in the fourth match, the three defeats they have played will be a struggle for survival for England.
India are confident of beating the West Indies by a huge margin in the last match. The return of Smriti Mandana and Harmanpreet Kaur with centuries also strengthens India. After defeating Pakistan in the first match, India lost to New Zealand. It was then that the Windies were crushed. With four points, India, along with the Kiwis and West Indies, are third in run average, beating both teams. Australia (8) and South Africa (6), who have won all their matches, are in the top two.
In the fourth match, Australia defeated the Windies by seven wickets. Australia were bowled out for 131 in 19.4 overs with three wickets in hand.
