The term 'new era' gets thrown around rather loosely in the world of sport, but it might be the perfect way for once to describe where this Australian white-ball team sits currently. Without a world title to defend for the first time in nearly a decade, the formerly all-conquering Aussies go into this tournament with a different kind of pressure to what they're otherwise used to.
They need to get their hands on some silverware again. It's also an ode to just how indomitable they were for so long as a T20 team, where they won three world titles on the trot, that even a two-year gap feels like an eternity for this incredible team. They still largely maintain a core of the players who made them the yardstick of women's white-ball cricket but there's still a fresh feel courtesy a new captain at the helm in the form of Sophie Molineux post the retirement of Alyssa Healy.
Thank you for the tags!!!
