Women’s T20 WC: ‘Mooney Hurts You In So Many Ways,’ Says Shikha On Australia's Winning Formula After SF Win
T20 World Cup: Former India pacer Shikha Pandey has credited Australia's tactical discipline and batting efficiency for their comprehensive eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup semi-final at The Oval. She reserved special praise for opener Beth Mooney, saying the left-hander's movement at the crease and ability to manipulate the field make her one of the most difficult batters to bowl to in the women's game.
Analysing the contest after Australia sealed a place in the final, Shikha highlighted Beth Mooney's masterclass at the top of the order, questioned key tactical decisions made by the West Indies, and explained how the Caribbean side's batting unit failed to cope with Australia's relentless bowling attack.
“Beth Mooney hurts you in so many ways. She is quick between the wickets, but what stands out is how she creates angles. She is always moving around the crease, making it hard for bowlers to settle on a line. Bowlers have struggled to find a way to pin her down. She will dab one for a single, and then the next ball she moves across to the off stump and finds a way to hit you all around the ground.
