Statistical analysis of India-Australia WT20Is
The Indian women's victory over Ireland saw them reach the semi-final stage of the ICC Women's World T20 for the first time since 2010. But before that match, they have a major hurdle to clear in the form of an Australian side that they may face again if they reach the finals.
