CRIK:Aussies could KO India in Lord's World Cup humdinger

Sophie Molineux's in-form Australian team look set to land the opportunity to knock out India, the team considered their main rivals for T20 World Cup glory, in a blockbuster final group match at Lord's.

The potential humdinger is on the cards at a sold-out 'home of cricket' next Sunday after India were beaten in a thriller by Marizanne Kapp-inspired South Africa at Old Trafford, putting the progression of Harmanpreet Kaur's powerhouse outfit to the semi-finals in serious jeopardy.

Australia are still not completely home and hosed for a semi-final place, which will go to the top two teams in group one, but their vastly superior net run-rate and current two-point lead in the pool still puts them in the most powerful of positions to go through.
