All is ready as the Australia women’s team in cricket resumes operations following a week-long break occasioned by rain disruptions in the current Women’s World Cup in cricket. Their last encounter against Sri Lanka in Colombo was called off before a ball could be bowled, and they were now looking forward to being back on the field. The team has been forced to wait patiently after their first display of winning over trans-Tasman competitors, New Zealand, comfortably. There was even a brief personal break by some players during the game intermission, with one of them reportedly going to the Maldives to have a brief holiday.
However, on Wednesday, October 8, Alyssa Healy and her squad will match Pakistan in the R Premadasa Stadium, and in trying to regain momentum and lead the points table. Weather prediction indicates a clear day, which creates hopes of a complete game, an outing badly needed by the defending champions, given that they are about to face a high-voltage match against India in the next couple of days.
Australia is about to get a major milestone. They also have a record of 5-0 in the history of Women’s ODI World Cup against Pakistan, and it is the same as that of India against the same team. On Wednesday, a win would give it a 6-0 best head-to-head record of any single team against Pakistan in the history of the tournament.
The champions already have the history of most wins against an opponent without a loss in Women’s World Cup history, 8-0 vs South Africa. India and New Zealand are right behind with 7-0 against the West Indies and Ireland, respectively. As Pakistan lags in the leadership of a relatively inexperienced Fatima Sana, Australia is heavily assured of continuing its winning streak and stamping its authority on the global platform once again.
