Women’s T20 WC: Australia Aiming To Tighten Up Fielding, Bowling Ahead Of NZ Clash, Says Molineux
T20 World Cup: Despite Australia getting its Women’s T20 World Cup title defence off to a flying start, left-arm spinner Sophie Molineux said the side needs to tighten up its fielding and bowling efforts ahead of their second Group A clash against New Zealand. Despite Australia getting a six-wicket win over Sri Lanka, its fielding wasn’t usually sharp. The side had one dropped catch and a missed stumping while conceding 13 extras with the ball – pacer Darcie Brown gave away a wide and three no balls in her lone over yielding 12 runs.
“We probably could be a bit cleaner in the field. It (Sharjah) definitely was a different field to what we sort of played on back in Australia and it's a bit slower and bigger. I think that we can definitely go up a notch in the field and even in bowling I think we can probably tighten up bits and pieces there too.”
“It was great to see Beth (Mooney) out there get some runs. Ash (Gardner) looked really good with the bat as well and all the bowlers chipped in at different points in time. So, there's definitely still things to improve on, but it was a good start,” said Sophie in the pre-match press conference.
