Twitter is abuzz about the 'no-ball' costing us the game and a potential ICC trophy
I think the game was lost well before that. Batting's inability to score more, bowler's inability to get the desired wickets and Mithali's brilliant captaincy. I am not sure how injured Jhulan was, but her sitting out reminded me of Wasim in the 1996 quarter-finals vs India.
I guess this should pave the way for a new regime in Women's cricket. Smriti as captain with Jemi as deputy might work well.
Anyway, Aussies are still the overwhelming favourite for the title. Expect them to sail through to the Finals. That said, South Africa did run them close and their batters have struck form at the right time. Would love nothing more than the Africans winning their first trophy here. They came damn close last time and would be really gutted to miss out this time round too.
