AUSW vs INDW Live Cricket Score

1 OUT! GOT HER! Mandhana fails yet again and this is just the start Australia would have wanted. A half-hearted stroke really, tries to go back on the off side and punch through the line but skews it high towards point where Villani backtracks to take an easy catch. Smriti's rough form continues... 6/1

9.2 OUT! GONE THIS TIME! Gardner strikes but this is a poor shot from Raut. There is a deep mid-wicket in place but she still goes for the slog across the line. Doesn't quite get it off the meat and finds Mooney stationed near the fence who takes a low catch. 35/2

25 OUT! Sound of timber! Beams jumps in delight, it's a massive breakthrough as the Indian skipper departs. A leg spinner is sent across quicker in pace around off, it doesn't turn much as Mithali goes back to play at it late. Fails in doing so and finds her stumps rattled. Australia have managed to break the 66-run stand. 101/3

38.4 OUT! VILLANI STRIKES! Some respite for Australia although this isn't the wicket they wanted. Slower ball and Deepti is way too early into the shot as she looks to slog. Misses it and finds the furniture behind her disturbed. She struggled to get going throughout but did well to rotate strike in this valuable 137-run stand that came off just 82 balls. 238/4

7.2 OUT! Caught and bowled! Flighted ball on off, skidding in probably, Bolton tries to drive through the line after stepping out but fails to get it away in the direction she would have liked to. It pops out from the toe end of the bat and Sharma in her followthrough takes a nice diving catch. Australia in dire straits with the top half removed in a jiffy. 261 needed off 208 balls! 21/3

1.2 OUT! Clattered! Great start for India as Pandey draws first blood. It's the wicket on in-form Mooney. A length ball on middle, 106 kph, Mooney plays all around a straightforward delivery by leaving a big gap between her bat and pad. Misses it completely and finds her off stump uprooted. The Indian girls are jubilant. A perfect start. 4/1

4.5 OUT! Goswami removes the big fish! Beauty of a delivery, she lands it on a length on off and gets it to straighten just a hint, Meg stays back to play inside the line but misses. The off stump has been disturbed and Jhulan jumps in joy. The Indian ladies are overjoyed, they know the importance of this wicket. Lanning was the linchpin of the Aussie batting and now the world champions are in real trouble. 9/2

26.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Is that the final nail in the coffin for Australia? On a length wider outside off, Perry tries to run it down to third man but is undone by the extra bounce. Gets a healthy edge through to Verma who grabs it with ease. The Indians will breathe easy now as the last of the big batters is gone. There is some more depth in the batting for Australia but the big guns have left. India firmly in control now as 142 more runs are needed from 95 balls. 140/5

23.1 OUT! VILLANI FALLS! She cannot believe it, the Australian camp cannot believe it. Massive, massive blow this to the defending champions. She steps out for the lofted shot to go over mid on but couldn't middle it well. Spooned it towards Mandhana who took the catch comfortably at mid on. The Indians are totally pumped, they know how big this wicket is. Another 156 off 113 balls still needed as Alex Blackwell walks out to bat. 126/4

40.1 OUT! Bowledddd! A flatter ball around leg, skidding through the surface, Blackwell advances down the track and tries to whip across the line. But she fails to make any connection and finds her stumps getting rattled. The Indian girls jump in delight. They win by 36 runs and book a place in the final of the ICC Women's World Cup, 2017! 245/10

28.3 OUT! Another bowling change brings another wicket. Fuller in length around off, Healy tries to go up and over mid on but gets it off the toe end. It lobs in the air and Shikha Pandey takes a comfortable catch inside the ring. Australia reeling. 148/6

29.4 OUT! Soft dismissal! Poonam gets lucky with this wicket. Short and wide outside off, spinning away, Gardner rocks back to punch but it takes the toe end of the bat and loops in the air at covers. Mithali Raj stationed there makes no mistake. Australia continue to slip further, have lost 4 for 26 now. 152/7

30.2 OUT! Run out at the non-striker's end. Full and angling into the batsman, Blackwell walks down the track and pushes it firmly back towards the bowler. Goswami gets her hand on it in the followthrough and it gets deflected onto the stumps at the non-striker's end. Jess Jonassen is backing up way too much and is run out. Unfortunate way to get dismissed. End is nigh for Australia. 154/8

32.3 OUT! Slower full ball on middle, Schutt steps down the track and heaves it over mid-wicket. Makes fine connection but not good enough to clear the fielder in the deep. A straightforward catch to Goswami who accepts it calmly. India just one wicket away from getting into the final. 169/9
