While Australia have largely preferred chasing throughout the tournament, the head coach insisted her side are prepared for any scenario in the final.
“I think we’re happy to be adaptable. We’ve shown that batting first is also a really good option for us. It’s more so about the conditions than having one fixed preference.”
For Australia’s younger players, many of whom will be experiencing their first World Cup Final, the message is simple: embrace the occasion rather than fear it.
“It’s about trying not to run from the moment. Just embracing that and enjoying the lead-up to the game. At the end of the day, we’ve got to play one more game of cricket. We’ve all been playing really well, so it’s about backing ourselves.
“It’s a big one, so we can’t hide from that. Just embrace it, enjoy it and back yourselves,” she added.
Australia last lifted the Women’s T20 World Cup trophy in 2023 and now stand one win away from adding yet another title to an already remarkable legacy.
