Australia captain Sophie Molineux lauded her side’s composure after the six-time champions defeated West Indies by eight wickets to reach their eighth ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final.
Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 61 and Ashleigh Gardner’s all-round brilliance guided Australia to a comfortable chase after the bowlers restricted West Indies to 125/7. Molineux credited the team’s focus on enjoying the tournament rather than looking too far ahead and praised the bowlers for holding their nerve in the powerplay. She also dismissed concerns over Ellyse Perry’s fitness, confirming the veteran all-rounder should be fit for Sunday’s final.
Australia remain unbeaten and will now chase another world title.
