Australia Women vs India Women, 2nd Semi-Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Deepti Sharma to Kim Garth, out Kim Garth Run Out!! 1 run completed. Australia have been bowled out. Good throw from Amanjot to Richa Ghosh and Kim Garth is caught short. She comes down the track and drives the low full-toss to long-off, Schutt was always going back for the 2nd, Amanjot throws to the other end and catches Garth short. Kim Garth run out (Amanjot Kaur/Richa Ghosh) 17(17)

Deepti Sharma to Molineux, out Bowled!! Bowled around her legs. Fires the yorker length delivery on leg-stump, Molineux shuffles across inside the line to sweep, the ball goes under the bat and clips leg-stump. No celebrations from India. Molineux b Deepti Sharma 0(1)

Deepti Sharma to Alana King, out Caught by Richa Ghosh!! Clear inside-edge and that's why Richa Ghosh was confident. It's full and across Alana King who shuffles across to go on the leg-side, a thin inside-edge and UltraEdge picks it up, good catch by Ghosh. It was not given by umpire Sue Redfern but India immediately reviewed. Alana King c Richa Ghosh b Deepti Sharma 4(4) [4s-1]

Radha Yadav to Alana King, FOUR, beautiful extra-cover drive. Alana King comes down the track and has the room as she drives it wide of the off-side field. There's no deep extra-cover and that raced away

Radha Yadav to Gardner, out Gardner Run Out!! Miscommunication between the two and Gardner goes. It goes off a thick inside-edge to backward square-leg, Gardner is halfway down and wants the run, no way back as Kranti lobs the ball to Richa Ghosh who does the rest. Maybe Kim Garth could have sacrificed herself, but she didn't. Fine knock this. Gardner run out (Kranti Gaud/Richa Ghosh) 63(45) [4s-4 6s-4]

Radha Yadav to Gardner, SIX, six more. A flat six over deep mid-wicket. Problems for India. It's fired full as Gardner comes down the track, she heaves and gets under that, a flat six, so much power behind that

Radha Yadav to Gardner, SIX, Gardner on the charge. It's tossed up and Gardner comes down the track, is not to the pitch of the ball, heaves it across the line and clears deep mid-wicket with ease. Was to the shorter side of the fence

Deepti Sharma to Gardner, 2 runs, low full-toss on the stumps, Gardner gets forward and flicks, Jemi at long-on almost overruns it to her right, manages to palm it down with the left hand, saves two. 50 for Gardner

Deepti Sharma to Gardner, FOUR, fires it outside the leg-stump and follows Gardner backing away there, swung away to the deep backward square-leg fence, right into the gap

Radha Yadav to Gardner, SIX, pure muscle. On a length on off, Gardner goes on the back foot and pulls meatily, flat hit and it goes all the way over deep mid-wicket

Amanjot Kaur to Kim Garth, 1 run, full just outside off, Kim Garth gets forward to loft and miscues it, but gets a single to long-off. The 300 is up

Amanjot Kaur to Gardner, FOUR, full and following Gardner as she gives the charge, on the pads, flicked away through backward square-leg and it's into the gap

Shree Charani to Gardner, SIX, tremendous shot. To the shorter side. She comes down the track and is not to the pitch of the ball, but goes through with the shot, flies way over deep mid-wicket, just a bottom-handed shovel and what timing

Amanjot Kaur to Gardner, out McGrath Run Out!! Poor call that and Australia have gifted a wicket. On a length outside off, forced straight to the fielder at extra-cover and there was never a run, despite Jemi at the edge of the ring, McGrath is slow and it's an accurate throw to Richa Ghosh who does the rest. Even a dive wouldn't have saved McGrath. So short she was. Just when Australia were building momentum, the call from Gardner proves to be a costly mistake. Replays show that McGrath was looking at Jemi and that cost her precious seconds. She had backed up well but by looking at the ball, McGrath made a mistake. McGrath run out (Rodrigues/Richa Ghosh) 12(7) [4s-2]

Amanjot Kaur to Gardner, FOUR, short of length outside off, Gardner goes on the back foot and punches it wide of the diving extra-cover, to her left, beats the run and dive of sweeper cover to her right, great timing on that

Deepti Sharma to Gardner, FOUR, flat and down leg, good length and sliding down leg, Gardner goes on the back foot and glances it away fine, runs away to the fine-leg fence, poor delivery and the over ends with a four

Radha Yadav to McGrath, FOUR, another poor delivery and square-driven wide of backward point. Radha Yadav has a wry smile on her face. It's full outside off, McGrath comes down late on it, drives it into the gap and with an open face. 10 runs and a wicket off the over

Radha Yadav to McGrath, FOUR, a fumble from Harman at extra-cover and it's very ordinary stuff. It's full outside off, McGrath gets forward to drive hard and Harman lets it go, the timing on the shot takes it past long-off and sweeper cover

Radha Yadav to Perry, out Bowled!! Huge wicket this. Too full to cut this. Perry is good with this shot, but this length delivery on off slides on quicker, Perry goes on the back foot to cut late and misses, the off-stump is pegged back. The anchor is gone in this Australian side. Good knock from Perry but it has come to an end. India enjoying a fine last 20-25 minutes. Perry b Radha Yadav 77(88) [4s-6 6s-2]

Kranti Gaud to Perry, FOUR, short of length outside off, Perry reaches for it to cut and beats the diving backward point to her left, all timing and the boundary comes, poor delivery and Perry just had to get the gap

Shree Charani to Sutherland, out Caught&Bowled!! Chipped back and caught. Soft dismissal. It's tossed up full on middle, Sutherland gets forward to drive and doesn't keep it down, simple catch and gone. Shree Charani gets Sutherland twice in two matches in this World Cup. India wrestling back some control with two quick wickets. Sutherland c and b Shree Charani 3(6)

Shree Charani to Mooney, out Caught by Rodrigues!! In the league game too against India, Mooney got out caught at extra-cover and she falls to the same fielder again. She comes down the track and looks to go inside-out over extra-cover, doesn't time it and it's a simple catch for Jemi going back, on the reverse-cup. Shree Charani strikes on her return. Another partnership broken. Mooney c Rodrigues b Shree Charani 24(22) [4s-3]

Deepti Sharma to Mooney, FOUR, special shot this. Mooney is not to the pitch of the ball as she comes down, then has to drag it across the line, gets a lot of power behind the shot and beats deep mid-wicket running to her right, cleverly bowled by Deepti Sharma as she dragged the length back, but Mooney was up for it

Amanjot Kaur to Perry, SIX, that's where Perry is so good. She hits straight down the ground so well, a little shimmy down the pitch and then takes it on the half-volley, clean swing of the bat and it flies all the way over long-on, mid-on was anyway inside

Amanjot Kaur to Mooney, FOUR, such a good shot. A good length delivery on middle, Mooney is so quick as she goes on the back foot and pulls it wide of mid-wicket, no chance for deep mid-wicket to her right, picked the length so early

Radha Yadav to Perry, 1 run, Perry has 50. Big game and she comes up with a good knock. Has been not in the best of nicks but she has come good today. She comes down the track and takes it on the full, drives it to long-off. Has a smile on her face

Radha Yadav to Mooney, no run, clear case of panic than anything else. It never looked out. Pitched outside leg and hit her in line with leg stump as Mooney missed the flick. No real excitement from the keeper either. Radha Yadav, however, was keen and somehow coaxed her skipper into a review...

Radha Yadav to Mooney, FOUR, this is poor bowling from Radha Yadav. She comes from round the wicket and bowls it full and down the leg-side, Mooney gets down on one knee and sweeps it away to the fine leg fence

Amanjot Kaur to Phoebe Litchfield, out Bowled!! Finally! That looked like the only way Litchfield could get out today. She walked a long way across, tried to play the lap sweep and missed it completely. There was fine leg in place and not sure if Litchfield would have scored a boundary there. There wasn't enough pace or bounce on the delivery and Litchfield was a bit too early into her shot. The ball grips a touch and hits the top of middle stump. A sigh of relief in the Indian camp as they celebrate the wicket of the centurion. Phoebe Litchfield b Amanjot Kaur 119(93) [4s-17 6s-3]

Deepti Sharma to Phoebe Litchfield, SIX, round the wicket or over the wicket - the result will not change. Litchfield brings out the switch hit against this full ball. Sat down on one knee and smoked it over extra cover for a 78-metre maximum. Perry is having the best seat in the house and she is enjoying every moment of it...

Deepti Sharma to Phoebe Litchfield, SIX, Phoebe Litchfield is putting up a masterclass on using the feet. Down the wicket in a flash, close to the pitch of the delivery and marmalizes it down the ground for a mighty maximum...

Amanjot Kaur to Phoebe Litchfield, no run, dropped. That is an incredibly tough chance. Full and angling away outside off, Litchfield shuffles down and throws her hands on the drive. A thin outside edge and Richa couldn't cling on. That was travelling at a great pace, and a very difficult one to grab...

Shree Charani to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, maiden World Cup century for Phoebe Elizabeth Susan Litchfield. Perry gives her a warm hug. The dug-out rise as one to appreciate the milestone. Litchfield riases her arms and soaks it all in. She got there by advancing and drilling the full delivery over mid-off. What a fantastic knock this from the 22 year-old. She was in the form of her life coming into this tournament and this was always waiting to happen...

Radha Yadav to Phoebe Litchfield, 1 run, waltzes down the pitch and drives the full delivery to the right of long-on. 150 up for Australia

Amanjot Kaur to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, it is raining boundaries in Navi Mumbai. Hint of width on this short of length delivery outside off and Litchfield gets a thick outside edge on the push that runs away to the third man fence

Deepti Sharma to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, the line is just outside off and Litchfield decides to play the reverse sweep. Flew off the thick top-edge and beat the chasing fielders (backward point and short third) to their right

Radha Yadav to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, 14 off the over! Litchfield uses her feet, gets close to the pitch of the delivery and thumps Radha Yadav over the leaping mid-off fielder

Radha Yadav to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, slower and fuller, but the line is well wide and allows Litchfield to crouch and belt the drive in the gap through cover

Radha Yadav to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, with mid-off up inside the ring Litchfield dances down the wicket and lofts the full delivery off the cue end of the bat. Not the timing she was looking for, but there was enough power to trickle away to the ropes...

Amanjot Kaur to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, one of many innovative strokes from Phoebe Litchfield. She is so good behind the wicket. Premeditates the lap shot, gets inside the line of this length delivery and helps it past the keeper for her 12th boundary

Deepti Sharma to Perry, FOUR, oh freebie down leg! Perry easily glances to the fine leg fence and there is no protection in the deep

Shree Charani to Phoebe Litchfield, SIX, her cover-driving even gets better. Treat to watch her play a full ball outside off stump. Now gets out of the crease, gets close to the pitch of the ball and plays a delightful inside-out lofted drive to clear the extra-cover fence

Shree Charani to Phoebe Litchfield, 1 run, shortish and outside off stump, Phoebe cuts square of the wicket for a single

Deepti Sharma to Perry, SIX, use of the feet to get to the pitch of the ball and plays a brilliant lofted drive to clear the long-on fielder comfortably. Lovely shot

Shree Charani to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, advances and lofts over mid-off. That is the 9th ODI fifty for Phoebe Litchfield. She didn't realize and was told by Perry. The Aussie dugout is all smiles as they applaud this sharp innings. Phoebe raises the bat and acknowledges the applause from the crowd as well

Renuka Singh to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, lofted! They have been feeding her on the cover drive and every time she's loved it. Lofts this over the infeld and collects four more

Kranti Gaud to Perry, FOUR, smart! No deep third, the moment Perry saw width and the length to hang back, she let the ball come to her and late-cut it past backward point

Kranti Gaud to Perry, FOUR, it's a full toss now! For some reason she's been trying that yorker when there has been enough on offer. Or is she only trying to bowl full and losing control. Happened a few times in the last over where she was losing the line, now the length as well. Perry belts this down the ground and beats mid-on to the left

Kranti Gaud to Perry, FOUR, moves into the RHB, Perry glances, had to adjust late to the movement but this is a poor ball with no fine leg in place. Perry accepts the offer and gets a boundary

Renuka Singh to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, edgeddd and wide of the lone slip fielder! Phoebe was itching to break-free. She tries to cut this not-so-short ball, gets a thick edge and luckily for her it cleared Deepti quite easily to the left

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, should have been a dot ball but it bursts through the hands of Amanjot at point. Full and outside off stump, too full again. Wonder if she's looking to have her caught square on the off-side. Phoebe again lets the ball come and this time square drives for four

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, squeezed out! Her off-side play has been outstanding. This is almost a yorker outside off stump and Phoebe is smart enough to let this ball come to her and open the bat face last second to guide it past Radha at backward point. They don't have a fielder at deep third so she played the field

Renuka Singh to Perry, FOUR, inside edge past the stumps! Not easy driving on the off-side when the ball is moving intot he RHB, Perry is lucky this didn't smash into the stumps, escapes to the fine leg fence

Renuka Singh to Perry, no run, never looked out! Was just a normal appeal from Renuka Singh and she wasn't expecting the ump to give this out. Good length delivery swinging back in, Perry missed the defence, impact in line leg stump and with the angle and swing Renuka Singh was getting it was always missing leg stump

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, nicely chipped over cover! Full and just outside off stump, too full though and Phoebe had it easy as she got under it for a loft over the infield for four more

Kranti Gaud to Healy, out Bowled!! Dragged on! This is what a pause can do. Call it the break, call it the drizzle. Small change in the flow of the game and it often impacts play. Also, Healy seemed a bit concerned about the rain and was covering the bat from the drizzle as they were waiting for the lights to come on. Kranti came into the side today, didn't start well but she's struck gold here. She roars and Harman will feel a lot lighter now. The dangerous Alyssa Healy, who had a life earlier, is gone trying to defend this nip-backer. Wobble seam has been Kranti Gaud's strategy. Healy got the bat down at an angle and she got an edge that clattered into the middle stump. To make things interesting, rain picked up as the bowler was running in. Tell you what, the players are being taken off the field because it's heavy enough now. Healy b Kranti Gaud 5(15)

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, that is a freebie! Short and down leg. Maybe she lost control trying to adjust to Phoebe giving the charge. Easy ball and she helped it away fine to the fine leg fence

Renuka Singh to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, cut away hard, past the point fielder. Smriti dives full length to the right in the deep but couldn't stop it cleanly

Renuka Singh to Healy, 1 run, in the airrrr and Harman puts down a sitter! Gee, you can't drop Alyssa Healy in a big knockout game. She and India will be hoping that this won't hurt them badly. Full ball swinging back in, Healy wasn't playing the inswingers with great control. She tried to break-free with a lofted drive over mid-off. Bat turned in her hands to force a mishit. Harman made enough ground to the right, stretched and got both hands but it didn't stick. Dugout couldn't believe it, so can the crowd

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, but she will love it if Kranti Gaud overpitches like this. This time Phoebe didn't have to do much, just waited for the slot ball to come and played a neat lofted cover drive for four. She enjoyed that and continues to shadow practice between overs as well

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, FOUR, forcing the play here! Didn't want to let the bowler settle into a line or length. Phoebe walked forward and took this on the half volley, brilliant cover drive to the right of the fielder and we have the first boundary of the day
