    Hello. Good morning.

    It's time for a biggie at this Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.

    Ever since losing their opener to India, Australia have always been battling to stay in the tournament and it has all led to this.

    Today they meet their Trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand in a winner takes all match in Group A. It's effectively a quarter-final with the winner going through and the loser eliminated.
