TFW Daily - The first Aussie-Dutch stoush - Women's T20 World Cup, Day 8
6/20/202620 min
Women's T20 World Cup 2026, Day 8, Australia v Netherlands, Pakistan v Bangladesh: Australia have never played the Dutch in a T20 before, and the Aussie challenge was whether they could top the NRR boost that India got from the same fixture. After that, Pakistan and Bangladesh scrapped it out in what became a scrappy game but a fierce, compelling contest. Firdose Moonda joins Geoff.
