Comm. Games Women's T20
When does it start?
This Friday! It all gets underway at 11am local time (8pm AEST) when Australia meet India at Edgbaston in front of what is expected to be a sell-out crowd.
The teams met in the opening game of the last T20 World Cup, when India upset the Aussies on their home turf, before Meg Lanning's team had their revenge in the final, and the latest instalment of one of cricket's fiercest rivalries has the potential to be another epic.
There will be 16 games played over 10 days, culminating in the medal matches on August 7. Australia expects to find themselves on the receiving end of a vocal, pro-India crowd when they step out onto Edgbaston on Friday.
And opener Beth Mooney says Australia’s first mission will be to make sure they remain quiet.
In a repeat of the last major women’s T20 tournament, the 2020 World Cup, fierce rivals Australia and India are going toe-to-toe to launch the Commonwealth Games T20 competition on Friday.

"Australia will take nothing for granted as they confront familiar foes in their first ever match against Barbados in Sunday’s Commonwealth Games double-header at Edgbaston.
Barbados have played just one sanctioned international match, besting full member Pakistan on Friday, but boast seven players with West Indies experience, including two of the game’s most damaging T20 prospects in skipper Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin.
Five of the six bowlers used against Pakistan were part of the Windies’ 50-over World Cup side that made the semi-finals earlier this year."

"Meg Lanning’s team can secure their spot in the Games semi-finals with victory on Sunday evening (3am Monday AEST), but Barbados have pledged to play with freedom against the world’s top-ranked team.
"We can go out there with no pressure on us," Matthews declared after Barbados’ win over Pakistan.
"No one’s looking for us to win the match and it gives us a really good opportunity to head out there and play some natural cricket."
