Defending champions Australia will start their Women's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Sri Lanka today (Saturday, October 5). The Aussies played top-quality cricket last year and became the champions by defeating South Africa in the final.
Meg Lanning will not lead the Aussies this time as Alyssa Healy will captain the defending champions. They will start as the favorites to win against Sri Lanka, who lost their tournament opener against Pakistan a few days ago.
Sri Lanka's chances of qualifying for the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 semifinals will reduce significantly if they lose against Australia. Before the Australia vs Sri Lanka match starts, here's a short preview of the clash.
