The Indians showed what they are capable of when beating fancied Australia convincingly at the North Sydney Oval last week. But they will have their work cut out tomorrow against a resurgent Australian side.
But for their abysmal catching, shoddy fielding and pathetic throwing-in in their five-wicket defeat by New Zealand last Tuesday, the Indian women could have been playing in the final of the World Cup here on Sunday, instead of facing Australia for the third place tomorrow.The Indians showed what they are capable of when beating fancied Australia convincingly at the North Sydney Oval last week. But they will have their work cut out tomorrow against a resurgent Australian side.
The hosts, who started tentatively in the tournament, have improved by leaps and bounds. They crushed England, who have impressed thus far and were installed favourites to win the title after winning all their matches thus far, by eight wickets yesterday.
"It's taken us six games and two games in the warm-up to put together a great team effort," Australian captain Karen Rolton said after her team's impressive win.
On the other hand, the Indian women appeared dispirited at a dinner hosted for them by cricket aficionados Surjit Singh Gujral and his son Rasan at their popular restaurant at which former Pakistan legend Wasim Akram, here as a television commentator, and Indian Test pace bowler S Sreesanth were also present.
