Former Australian skipper Meg Lanning has hailed the team's remarkable depth as they gear up to clash with India in the women's ODI World Cup semifinals in Navi Mumbai. Australia's squad strength has been a significant advantage throughout the tournament, making them strong contenders for their eighth title.
The defending champions are the only unbeaten side, having outplayed India in the league stage with a narrow three-wicket victory. Lanning emphasized that Australia's success lies in not relying solely on individual performances, with players like Beth Mooney proving crucial in maintaining momentum and handling challenging situations.
As India misses the explosive contributions of the injured Pratika Rawal, Lanning stresses the importance of captain Harmanpreet Kaur stepping up. Meanwhile, Lanning also backs England to win the other semifinal against South Africa in Guwahati.
