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.

Sophie Devine To Grace Harris
Shout for a caught behind, the umpire shakes her head. Full in length, around leg and drifting down, Harris tries to flick but misses. There is some sound but it is perhaps from the ball brushing the pads.

Sophie Devine To Rachael Haynes OUT!
OUT! Excellent running catch from Bates. Are we going to see a late twist in the match? Fuller delivery, on middle and slower in pace, Haynes steps back to make room and tries to hammer it through the line. Ends up mistiming it behind the bowler and Suzie Bates comes running in from long on to take an excellent diving catch. She is pumped up. 16 needed off 16 balls.
