IND-W vs AUS-W, Women's T20 World Cup 2023 Semi-final 1 Toss Update: Today match players list, teams & umpires 

India Women face a tough task when they take on Australia Women in semi-final 1 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 at Newlands in Cape Town on Thursday, February 23.

The Aussies will go into the match as favorites. They have a dominant record over the Women in Blue, which they have maintained even in knockout clashes.

Apart from history, form also favors Australia in the T20 World Cup semi-final. India have been inconsistent en route to booking their place in the last four. While they beat Pakistan and West Indies, they lost the game against England despite getting off to a sensational start with the ball. In the end, it took an unconvincing five-run win (DLS method) over Ireland in their last group match for India to book their place in the semis.

India Women suffered a major setback ahead of the semi-final as pacer Pooja Vastrakar was ruled out due to an upper respiratory tract infection. For Australia, Alyssa Healy was declared fit ahead of the game. She missed the team's last group match against South Africa due to a quad injury.
