Team Australia have once again dominated the T20 World Cup as they seal yet another win for that incredible trophy. It was a heartbreaking moment for South Africa Women who made their Finale entry possible for the first time but couldn\u2019t put their hands on the trophy.<\/p>\n
Schutt, who has led Australia\u2019s pace attack for the last decade and has been a part of six of those titles (4 T20s and two ODIs), isn\u2019t tired of the frequent world titles and winning streaks.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s pretty special,\u201d she says. \u201cPeople keep taking digs that winning is boring, (but) it\u2019s not boring for us. Every time we come, we come to win. This was another one we had to do in front of a crowd that felt like bloody 70,000 people so damn loud.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n \u201cWe have to keep pushing our standards. We are really hard on ourselves. We reflect on ourselves quite honestly, but we\u2019re trying to make sure we\u2019re as sure as we can be. We\u2019re working hard in the gym, on the field. We field a lot, and we pride ourselves on that, trying to save the runs. That\u2019s where the gap is at the moment. South Africa has the finest bowling attack in the world, they showed that today. The powerplay was brilliant. Fielding is where we are leading the pack at the moment. But that gap is closing for sure.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n Australian pacer Megan Schutt praises her captain Meg Lanning while criticising Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMeg is a pretty calm character, that\u2019s what rubs on us. That\u2019s what we speak about in pre-match talks. We hold up our calm in pressure situations. Because there are a lot of those, especially in T20s. Being calm in those moments means you\u2019re going to execute better,\u201d Schutt said as quoted by Cricbuzz.<\/p>\n SCHUTT ON KAUR \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The Indian captain had said that Australian players\u2019 body language suggested they had given up when she was taking the game away. Meanwhile, Schutt called the remark \u2018bullshit\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cThey were taking the game and we were under the pump. Collectively our last five overs were key. Getting a couple of wickets in there but also providing pressure on all aspects, whether it\u2019s in the field, with the ball or even body language out there. Harmanpreet said our body language was down. I\u2019ll call bullshit on that. We\u2019re just calm. We don\u2019t panic, we don\u2019t take it out on each other if there\u2019s a misfield or a dropped catch. That\u2019s where we stand out as a team.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cStay calm. It was wrong of Harmanpreet to follow that after getting out (reaction after being given out). It sets the wrong precedent for those coming next. I know she was calm after that and spoke to Deepti. But the damage was done already by then. Being able to compose yourself in that situation. Of course, you\u2019ve to go through a lot of things to figure that out. We\u2019ve had our own losses. Yes, we win a lot, but we\u2019ve had our own clutch moments that we\u2019ve lost and learned from that,\u201d she added.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Team Australia have once again dominated the T20 World Cup as they seal yet another win for that incredible trophy\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":28531,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3367,963,1528],"class_list":["post-5589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-australia-women","tag-harmanpreet-kaur","tag-meg-lanning"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
