Australia’s Kim Garth, a pacer, expressed satisfaction with the team’s momentum after a convincing five-wicket win against England in a warm-up match for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. Garth, along with Megan Schutt, played a crucial role in restricting England to 157/6 and comfortably chasing the target with 10 balls to spare.
Garth, who took 1-19 from three overs, highlighted the joy of bowling alongside Schutt and contributing to a strong bowling performance. Australia’s bowlers, led by Garth and Schutt, kept England under pressure by dismantling their top order early in the game.
The pacer mentioned feeling rusty in the lead-up to the tournament but found confidence in recent opportunities with the Australian team. She emphasized the importance of trusting her preparation and skills for the upcoming major tournament. Australia’s success was a collective effort, with Beth Mooney’s 43 and Ellyse Perry’s 64 anchoring the chase after a solid bowling display.
Garth praised the team’s all-round performance and contributions with both bat and ball, setting a positive tone for their upcoming matches. Australia will face the West Indies in their final warm-up game before commencing their campaign for a record seventh T20 World Cup title this week.
