LONDON, England (CMC) — West Indies captain Hayley Matthews has declared her team will enter Tuesday’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final against Australia with “nothing to lose” and a fearless mindset that could prove dangerous for the tournament favourites.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the crucial knockout clash, Matthews exuded confidence despite facing the world’s number one-ranked side, who enter the semi-final in formidable form after brushing aside India in their final group match.

“We certainly feel like coming up against Australia, we have nothing to lose, and that puts us in a position where we can be quite fearless going out there,” Matthews said.
