Asian rivalry up next - Well, those were some very short and sweet interviews. That's because everyone is in a hurry to wrap things up. Australia Women find themselves back on top of the points table but will want to get one more win at least, to solidify their qualification for the semis. They meet Pakistan next, on Tuesday, 23rd June, 2026 in Leeds. The Dutch, though not officially knocked out yet, will aim to keep improving in search for their maiden win. They take on South Africa next, after a bit of a gap, on Thursday, 25th June, 2026, in Bristol. As far as the current situation is concerned, Bangladesh and Pakistan are ready to lock horns in a battle for Asian supremacy. The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 1.30 pm GMT, but our buildup has already begun, with Bangladesh electing to bat first on a used surface. Do hop into that matchcentre for all the action. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
A good win - The victorious skipper of Australia Women, SOPHIE MOLINEUX, says it is a good win for Australia and gives full credit to the Netherlands for the way they played. She adds that she is pleased to see her side post a big score and it was enjoyable to be out in the middle and compete against the Dutch team. Speaking about the bowling attack (when asked that everyone wants to bowl and if that's a problem), Molineux describes it as a good headache to have rather than a problem. She explains that they are simply trying to find the right option at the right time. Sophie further says that they could not get a breakthrough for a long period, but the beauty of having so many bowling options is that she can cycle through them and identify what works best on the day.
Learning from the best - The captain of Netherlands Women, BABETTE DE LEEDE, says it is a massive moment both for the team and for her personally, as this was her 100th WT20I game. She tells that playing against the best team in the world does not get any better than this for her side. She describes it as a huge opportunity and adds that being able to play against Australia and learn from them is an incredible experience. de Leede also speaks warmly about the support in the stands, saying it is special to have home support present. She adds that the fans were loud throughout the game and thanks them for their backing.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - BETH MOONEY - 74 (42) - Mooney says she is fine and shares that she experienced a bit of back spasm, hence retired hurt. She adds that retiring hurt was merely a precaution, joking that she is not used to so much bus travel, but assures everyone that she is all good. Reflecting on her innings, Mooney says that as an opening batter, her job is to score runs, and she is pleased to do that well. She highlights the two strong partnerships she shared with Georgia Voll and Ashleigh Gardner, and also praises the bowlers for doing a great job.
Batting statement - That's what the Aussies did after losing the toss early on. They were put into bat under overcast conditions, but the batters were helped by some loose bowling. They made full use of those gifts and even played some ultra-aggressive shots, which led to the fall of wickets. They might have lost more wickets had it not been for the sloppy Dutch fielding. Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner found their form back with fluent half centuries, but more importantly, Australia will be concerned about Mooney's fitness, given the tough games ahead. Towards the end, Georgia Wareham played a nice cameo, but it will be fair enough to say, that the batters just did not get a good bowling opposition in front. Let's see what the interviews have in store for us.
Big win, or issues dwarfed? To be really honest, we will have to wait and see two big sides go against each other on this ground and on this deck, and then make a verdict. The scorecard does say that Australia Women managed to pick only 3 wickets, but the same scorecard also says that they conceded runs only at slightly above 6 an over. Sophie Molineux exercised plenty of options, with as many as 8 bowlers being used. Lucy Hamilton and Kim Garth were threatening with the new ball, but once the ball lost its shine, it just stopped doing everything. It is easy to say that the number 1-ranked team should have picked more wickets but the deck was nothing more than a road. On that, the bowling was pretty much consistent, while the fielding, barring a dropped catch, was more or less decent.
A batting beauty - Perhaps that's what describes this scorecard at best. Australia Women scored runs aplenty while with the ball, struggled to pick up wickets regularly, after the new-ball burst. The target was a big one for the Team In Orange, but the fact that the deck was playing well was seen as an opportunity by them to bed down and score some runs. Skipper Babette de Leede continued her good form, scoring her second half century in this World Cup, still the only player from Netherlands to score a fifty in a Women's T20 World Cup. Sterre Kalis, technically their best batter, played a solid hand in their 96-run stand for the third wicket, but missed out on her half century. A critic might say that with so many wickets in hand, Netherlands could and should have played a bit more freely, trying to put more pressure on the Aussies, but just like Rome was not build in a day, it takes time for quality, consistency and talent to seep through. The openers found it tough against the new ball, but after that, once the ball stopped moving around, the batters were quite comfortable.
Game lost, hearts won - That is what the Dutch would be saying to themselves. The win predictor did not give them too much of a chance before this match but they did not care. They gave a few too many runs with the ball and then had a poor start with the bat, but ended the game reasonably well, putting up a respectable score. The scorecard indicates a drubbing but giving only 3 wickets to one of the world's best bowling attacks is no small achievement.

Annabel Sutherland To Babette de Leede
That's all, Australia Women win by 98 runs. Shortish and around off, Babette de Leede rocks back to heave across the line but misses. It goes off her pads to backward point and they get a leg bye.

Annabel Sutherland To Robine Rijke
Run out chance missed. Slower one, on a length around middle and leg, Robine Rijke pushes it away tamely on the leg side, beside the pitch and tries to bring Babette de Leede on strike for the final ball. Annabel Sutherland rushes towards the ball, picks it up, turns but misses her shy at the bowling end. A direct hit would have found Robine short.

Annabel Sutherland To Sterre Kalis OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Sutherland breaks the stand in style! She charges in but takes the pace off, landing it on a teasing length in line with the stumps. Kalis comes down the track looking for a mighty heave across the line, but she is far too early into the shot. The ball sneaks through and crashes into the stumps. A splendid 96-run partnership comes to an end. Robine Rijke walks in next, playing her 100th T20I game.
Final over of this Warm up match then. Sadly, that's what we have to call it. Annabel Sutherland will finish things off. 2-0-16-0 so far.
