Hamilton backs Australia to find best form in knockout stages of U19WC 2025
Australia captain Lucy Hamilton believes her side's shock loss to Sri Lanka in their final Super Six contest in Bangi on Wednesday could prove the catalyst to help catapult the team to the title at the ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup 2025. The Aussies had already booked their place in the semi-finals of the U19 T20 World Cup prior to the match against Sri Lanka, but were undone by spin and failed to chase down 100 for victory as they lost their unbeaten status at the tournament. Sri Lanka pull off a upset in their final match.| Match Highlights | U19WC2025 Australia will need an improved performance when they face South Africa in a knockout semi-final in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, and Hamilton thinks her side can bounce back quickly from the loss to Sri Lanka and perform well against the Proteas at Bayuemas Oval. "I think today was a really good day for just bring us down to earth and reiterate that its a really tight competition," Hamilton said after the loss. "All the girls are really excited and looking forward to getting out there and playing the semi-final. "We will take a lot from todays game knowing other teams have a lot of spinners as well so just adapting to those conditions quicker." WATCH: Hamilton hangs on to tough chance in the field Australia's bowlers did well to restrict Sri Lanka to just 99/8 with that bat, but the Aussies' high-profile top-order failed to cope with the slow conditions in Malaysia as the opposition spinners claimed all seven wickets available as the run chase was kept to 87/8. It means Australia will enter the knockout stages of the event without any of their batters having scored a half-century and talented 15-year-old all-rounder Caoimhe Bray is the only member of the side to feature in the top 10 run-scorers at the tournament. But Hamilton, who is featuring at her second U19 T20 World Cup, thinks Australia's batters learnt a lot from the loss to Sri Lanka and is backing them to perform well against the Proteas. "The girls are disappointed with the loss, but credit to Sri Lanka as they played really well and we got beaten with our batting," Hamilton said. "I thought we bowled really well and put a lot of pressure on them, but just didn't carry it on with the bat." ICC Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup, 2025 News Women's News
