Lucy rallies Australia U19 eves for World Cup push
The Statesman Siliguri
|January 31, 2025
Australia captain Lucy Hamilton believes her team's unexpected defeat to Sri Lanka in their final Super Six match in Bangi on Wednesday could serve as a turning point, inspiring them to go all the way at the ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup 2025, according to International Cricket Council (ICC).
The Aussies (Australia) had already booked their place in the semi-finals of the U19 T20 World Cup prior to the match against Sri Lanka, but were undone by spin and failed to chase down 100 for victory as they lost their unbeaten status at the tournament.
Australia will need an improved performance when they face South Africa in a knockout semi-final in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, and Hamilton thinks her side can bounce back quickly from the loss to Sri Lanka and perform well against the Proteas at Bayuemas Oval.
Hamilton remains confident that her side can learn from the setback and put in a stronger performance when they face South Africa in the semi-final at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur on Friday.
