Indian women's cricket team <a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/icc-womens-world-t20-mandhana-hits-83-to-set-up-indias-48-run-win-over-australia-177938">defeated Australia in Women T20 World Cup</a> on Saturday, a match where opener Smriti Mandhana smashed a career-best 83 to notch up India's fourth victory in as many matches to top group B.&nbsp;

After winning the match, India's young talented player Jemimah Rodrigues interacted with media and said that the team needs to continue the momentum and strive to do even better in the semi-final.

"I think it's important, not just because it's Australia but for ourselves and our team, because we have the momentum," said Jemimah.

"It plays a huge impact on our team, we look forward to it (semi-final) but won't get carried away by it and (will) try to do even better in the semi-final," she added.

The 18-year-old denied on being asked whether India have ticked all the boxes ahead of the semi-final, she said there is always scope for improvement.

Adding to that she mentioned, "But I think we did pretty well, from the first match until today I've seen a lot of improvement in our bowling and our fielding."

Rodrigues made her Twenty20 International debut on February, 13, 2018 against South Africa. While speaking to the media she hailed the teammates and coached for putting in efforts.

"Our teammates, everybody, the coaches, everybody is putting in a lot of effort, working really hard and it's paying off, so we'll just try and get better."

Archery World Cup: India women's compound team settles for silver

Manchester United have announced plans to form a women&#39;s professional team after long being criticised for lagging behind their rivals.

The Premier League giants are the only top-flight club in England without a senior women&#39;s team.

United said they had submitted an application to the Football Association to join the second tier of the Women&#39;s Super League.

&quot;We are pleased to announce that the club intends to establish its first-ever professional women&#39;s team and has submitted an application to enter WSL2,&quot; said Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.&nbsp;

&quot;The FA has provided excellent support through the process and we believe that launching a team in WSL2 would give many more of our graduates from the regional talent club the chance to establish themselves as first-team players.

&quot;The Manchester United women&#39;s team must be built in the same image and with the same principles as the men&#39;s first team and offer academy players a clear route to top-level football within the club.&quot;

Ex-United player and current England women&#39;s coach Phil Neville recently called on his former club to form a women&#39;s team.

Sports minister Tracey Crouch praised Manchester United for &quot;finally dragging themselves into the 21st century&quot; in the House of Commons on Thursday.

Commons Speaker John Bercow, an avid Arsenal fan, chimed in, saying: &quot;They are light years behind Arsenal.&quot;
