After India got off to a nightmarish start against Australia in the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final, cricket fans have already started drawing hilarious comparisons of the match to the famous 2003 men’s World Cup final.
In 2003 as well, Australia had a great start with the bat and smacked the Indian bowlers all around much to the likes of what the Indian bowlers faced at the MCG on Sunday.
