Scoop Podcast: Darcie Brown relives Australia's great escape

The Aussie speedster gives an insider's account into the rollercoaster semi-final victory over India

Teenage speedster Darcie Brown played a crucial role in Australia's miraculous comeback win over India, claiming the two crucial scalps of Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh. 

20-year-old Brown joins hosts Laura Jolly and Emily Collin on the Scoop Podcast to share a detailed account of how the Aussies managed to respond under immense pressure to seal an unlikely win and explains what it was like having a front row seat to Ellyse Perry's fielding masterclass.

As well as that, some classic Darcie Brown tales arise as she takes listeners inside some 'rogue' dugout moments and explains why she watched the Lion King four times after going on safari in South Africa. 

Laura also shares insights from on the ground in Cape Town and ponders whether the Australians will be able to find another gear as they gun for a T20 World Cup three-peat.
