One of the high-stakes matches of the Women's T20 World Cup 2026 tournament has arrived. The first semi-final match is scheduled between Australia Women and the West Indies Women at Kennington Oval in London on Tuesday, June 30th. While Australia Women will be aiming to keep their unbeaten streak alive in the tournament and book their slot in the final, the West Indies Women will have to face the giants to seal their final slot. 

 

Australia Women

 

Australia, the only second unbeaten team in the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup 2026, has been dominating the tournament with their performance. They topped the table by winning all five group stage matches in the tournament. They will be arriving at the Oval after defeating India Women by 6 wickets. Australia restricted India Women to just 170 runs in their 20 overs, courtesy of their brilliant bowling, where Sophie Molineux grabbed two wickets. In reply, Australia got a decent start, but a crucial partnership between Ellyse Perry (56) and Ashleigh Gardner (53*) took the team to the victory line. It was the second consecutive victory for Perry in the tournament. She has been the pillar with her bat in the ongoing edition.

 

West Indies Women

 

Meanwhile, the West Indies Women had gotten a good start in the tournament, but their performance in the last two matches has gone down. They will be facing the in-form Australian Women's team on the back of poor form. They somehow managed to seal the berth in the semi-finals with a narrow margin. They will be coming into this match after a shocking defeat against Ireland Women. While batting first, the West Indies Women could only manage to reach 128 runs in their 20 overs. In reply, Ireland Women chased down the total in 18.1 overs.

AUS-W vs WI-W T20 WC Pitch Report

 

The surface at the Oval has favoured fast bowlers over the years. The surface will help the batters to post high scores once they get settled after spending some time at the pitch, especially in the shortest format, due to high bounce and good pace. Fast bowlers can achieve some swing and seam movement, especially in cloudy conditions, making the new-ball spell quite important. However, it is not going to be an easy batting wicket throughout, and players still need to apply themselves to build a solid innings.
