Australian collapse in SydneyThe Women’s Twenty20
World Cup started off with a major upset as Indian leg-spinner Poonam Yadav derailed Australia in
Sydney, with the hosts and reigning champions eventually bowled out 17 runs short with a ball to spare.
Yadav was denied a World Cup hat-trick by a dropped catch, and another wicket when the ball bounced twice on its way to the stumps, but she still finished with four wickets for 19 across her four overs, having completely trashed Australia’s chase.
