Victorian schools, sporting clubs and work places are being urged to throw green and gold parties to get behind Australia at the Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup.
Australians have been encouraged to wear their hearts on their sleeves and host viewing parties from Friday and throughout the tournament when the Aussies play.
To get in the spirit, Camberwell Magpies Cricket Club will throw a viewing party on Friday night to support the Aussie women in their World Cup opener against India.
Club president Barry Russ said celebrating the world’s best female cricketers sent a strong message.
“The ongoing success of the Australian women’s team has opened up opportunities for women and girls playing cricket everywhere and the Camberwell Magpies has a strong commitment to supporting the continued growth of women’s cricket,” he said.
Australian Women’s coach Matthew Mott hoped the nation got behind the team.
“A home world cup of any nature is very special,” he said.
“On behalf of the team and our support staff, I want to thank our fans for all of the support in the lead up to the tournament.
“Hopefully we can play a brand of cricket that makes them proud.”
