Jonassen proud of clutch performance after helping Aussies reach T20 World Cup final

Jess Jonassen says she thrived on the opportunity to bowl at the death in Australia’s Women’s T20 World Cup semifinal win over India. 

Australia won by just five runs at Newlands in Cape Town, thanks in part to a clutch performance from Jonassen in the penultimate over of India’s run chase.

India needed 20 runs for victory in the final 12 deliveries, but it could only manage four off Jonassen’s over, which also yielded the prized wicket of Sneh Rana (11).

The left-arm spinner’s effort took pressure off teammate Ash Gardner, who bowled the final over and helped restrict India to 8-167 in its innings.

Australia will play South Africa in the final on Monday morning AEDT after the hosts defeated England by six runs.
