Match Ended   
145/5 (19.3/20)
144/7 (20.0/20)
Australia Women beat New Zealand Women by 5 wickets
That concludes the proceedings. Here is the itinerary for Sunday, 7th August. England Women will face New Zealand Women in the bronze medal game at 2.30 pm IST (9 am GMT), while India Women will cross swords against Australia Women in the final for the gold medal at 9.30 pm IST (4 pm GMT). Do join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!
Earlier in the match, New Zealand Women wasted a good platform to maximize the end overs with the bat and managed only a below-par total on the board. They lost five wickets in the last five overs which stole the momentum from them. As mentioned before, their bowlers tried hard and Lea Tahuhu was exceptional in her spell, picking a 3-fer. Now, they will be back on the field to contest for the bronze medal against England Women.
Yet another hard-fought win for Australia Women and they continue to show great character to bounce back from a precarious situation. It was a bright start for them initially but then they lost two wickets in the Powerplay. Beth Mooney, dropped on 7, combined forces with Tahlia McGrath, who was dropped on 14, and together they stitched a 56-run stand, off 36 balls. That partnership took care of the required rate and despite losing a few quick wickets after that, the world champions crossed the line.
Not a convincing win for Australia Women but a win nonetheless to book a gold medal match against India Women. New Zealand Women tried hard but dropping so many catches haunted them, and they ended up being on the losing side. They are visibly disappointed. Had they been clinical on the field, the result could have gone their way.

Lea Tahuhu To Meg Lanning
PUT DOWN! Short in length and wide outside off, Lanning slaps it off the back foot but fails to keep it down. The point fielder (Amelia Kerr) dives across to her left side, and attempts to catch it with one hand but fails to grab it. Meg is away with a lucky break.
Meg Lanning is the new batter.

Lea Tahuhu To Alyssa Healy OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Healy has been strangled down the leg side. A length ball, drifting down the leg side, Alyssa tries to flick but it takes a fine tickle off her bat and goes to the keeper. Izzy Gaze takes a low catch diving across and Healy is seen walking. The umpire though wants to check whether it has carried to the keeper and refers it upstairs. The soft signal is out. The replays find that it's a perfect catch and Healy can continue with her walk to the pavilion.
Lea Tahuhu comes into the attack.
