19.6: Annabel Sutherland to Renuka Singh Thakur, AUSTRALIA WIN! 15TH CONSECUTIVE TIME IN T20 WORLD CUPS! Sharjah has been silenced, which was lending a one-sided support for the Indian Women. Coming to the delivery, this is a length ball around middle and leg, Renuka heaves it along the ground to deep backward square leg for a single. And eventually, it all came down to the last delivery. Very fair to say, that the last-ball six from Phoebe Litchfield in the first innings, ultimately proved to be the difference in the end! AUSTRALIA WIN BY 9 RUNS.

0
19.5: Annabel Sutherland to Radha Yadav, OUT! LBW! A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger! The decision is challenged by Radha Yadav after consulting from her skipper, but fairly this one looks pretty straight to the naked eye. Annabel Sutherland sticks to the fuller length, at the stumps, Radha clears her front leg, and wildly swings at it, gets beaten comprehensively on the inside edge and is trapped on the front pad. UltraEdge shows no bat and the Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. A nervy final over from Annabel Sutherland, executed just about perfectly!

0
19.5: Annabel Sutherland to Shreyanka Patil, OUT! WIDE AND A RUN OUT! Full in length, but drifting down leg, slower ball, Patil swings her bat and misses, Mooney behind the stumps gathers the ball well. Kaur wants to steal a bye, but Shreyanka is ball-watching and does not look at her partner who is already more than halfway up for a single. Now, Shreyanka starts to run but is sent back. Harmanpreet frustratingly walks back to the non-striker's end with a disgruntled look on her face. Mooney in the meantime, runs forward to the stumps and realizes that Shreyanka's back leg is outside the popping crease. She dislodges the bail in a flash. Now, the question is whether Patil had some part of her boot behind the line. She tries to drag her feet behind the line but it gets stuck in the pitch. After several checks, the TV Umpire is assured that there's nothing behind the line. OUT IT IS!

1
19.4: Annabel Sutherland to Harmanpreet Kaur, Can't get it through, this is excellent bowling display by Sutherland! Almost a yorker on off, Harmanpreet Kaur drills it down to wide of mid off for a quick single. No room for the double there as the fielder is very quick to scoot on the ball. 12 from 2 now.

0
19.3: Annabel Sutherland to Arundhati Reddy, OUT! It is a run out but India will not mind. The skipper is back on strike. Almost a yorker, outside off, Arundhati Reddy gets underneath the ball and aims to go for a cover drive. The ball hits the toe end of the bat and lobs gently to mid off. Does not carry but because Reddy is on a knee, she takes some time to set off for the single. Harmanpreet has no doubts and has already set off. Phoebe Litchfield throws it to the bowler who does the rest.

0
19.2: Annabel Sutherland to Pooja Vastrakar, OUT! BOWLED! Not the best of balls but Sutherland will take it. A high full toss, at the stumps, Pooja Vastrakar backs away and slashes hard, but misses. The ball goes beneath the bat and hits the stumps. A quickfire stand of 28 in 18 balls has been broken as Vastrakar departs for 9 (6). India Women are 139/6 and need another 13 from 4 balls.

1
19.1: Annabel Sutherland to Harmanpreet Kaur, Very full, around off, Harmanpreet Kaur drills it to long on for a single. 13 needed from 5 balls now.

1
18.6: Sophie Molineux to Harmanpreet Kaur, Seeing Harmapreet shuffling outside off, Sophie Molineux cunningly flattens the trajectory and fires in full and just near the boot of the batter. Harmanpreet Kaur gets a thick inside edge to her boot as the ball rolls to the off side. A quick single taken. 14 required off 6 balls now. This is going all the way down to the wire!

2
18.5: Sophie Molineux to Harmanpreet Kaur, FIFTY FOR HARMANPREET KAUR! Sophie Molineux now bowls it full and outside off, Kaur crouches a bit, and hits it over the covers. The fielder in the deep mops it up well and the batters scrape through for a couple. Harmanpreet Kaur hares back for the second and she is gasping for breath here.

4
18.4: Sophie Molineux to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! Nicely adjusted by Harmanpreet! Sophie Molineux fires it flat and wide of off, just near the tramline, Harmanpreet Kaur first looks to slog it away to the leg side but adjusts well to slice it over the infield over short third for a boundary.

1
18.3: Sophie Molineux to Pooja Vastrakar, Slower through the air, outside off, fractionally shorter than full, Pooja goes for the big hoick and mistimes it. Does not carry to deep mid-wicket. A single taken.

4
18.2: Sophie Molineux to Pooja Vastrakar, FOUR! BEAUTY! Insult to injury now. Flighted, outside off, Vastrakar gives herself room again on the leg side and drives it beautifully through the covers.

2
18.1: Sophie Molineux to Pooja Vastrakar, MISFIELD! Are the wheels coming off for the Aussies? Very full, around middle, Pooja Vastrakar gives herself room to the leg side and drives it straight to point. The fielder takes her eyes off the ball and what should have been a single, becomes a couple.

17.6: Ash Gardner to Pooja Vastrakar, 1 from the previous and 12 from this over! This is full and on the stumps, Pooja Vastrakar steers it behind square to deep square leg for a single to end the over. 4-0-32-1 for Ash Gardner.

1
17.5: Ash Gardner to Harmanpreet Kaur, A low full toss outside off, quicker at almost 102 kph, drilled down to long off by Harmanpreet Kaur for a single.

4
17.4: Ash Gardner to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! Finds the gap, again! Ash Gardner provides just a little room outside off on a good length, Harmanpreet Kaur hangs back and cuts it past cover for a boundary. 30 required of the last 14 now.

4
17.3: Ash Gardner to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! WHAM! Very full, outside off, Kaur gets down and carves it over a leaping Litchfield at cover. Moves to 40 (40).

17.2: Ash Gardner to Pooja Vastrakar, A touch shorter, on middle, Pooja Vastrakar stays back and helps it through mid-wicket for a run.

19.6: Shreyanka Patil to Phoebe Litchfield, SIX! Phoebe Litchfield provides the perfect propulsion for Australia Women towards the backend with this huge six! Lands it full and in front of the stumps, Phoebe Litchfield sits down and slogs it over deep mid-wicket for a six.

0
19.5: Shreyanka Patil to Sophie Molineux, OUT! RUN OUT! DRAMA IN THE LAST OVER! Short and turning away outside off, Molineux cuts it uppishly square of the wicket. Jemimah from backward point moves forward and dives to get both hands to it but spills it as the ball dips on her and falls just ahead. Now, that's where the confusion starts! Sophie Molineux gets to the other end with a single quickly, but eventually thinks that the catch is taken and starts walking back to the pavilion. Phoebe Litchfield alerts her but Jemimah Rodrigues is quick to make amends, gets up and picks the ball, and throws it to the bowler's end. However, the throw is wayward but Sophie Molineux is already way out of her crease. Shreyanka Patil collects it and has ample time to break the stumps.

0
19.4: Shreyanka Patil to Annabel Sutherland, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Shreyanka redeems herself nicely here. She lands it on the off stump line, gets a good bit of purchase off the pitch. The ball grips and turns into the batter. Annabel Sutherland sees the flight and aims to pick the bones out of it. She dances down the track and swooshes her bat across but ends up playing all over the line. She tries to hit it too hard and loses her shape. The ball sneaks through the gap between the bat and the pad and breaks into the stumps.

4
19.3: Shreyanka Patil to Annabel Sutherland, FOUR! WALLOP! Full, outside off, the arm ball, Sutherland gets under the ball and lofts it over cover.

0
19.2: Shreyanka Patil to Phoebe Litchfield, Very well bowled. Delivered from the back of the hand, like a fast bowler, looks like an arm ball but instead it is a slower one. Pitched outside leg, Phoebe Litchfield goes for the pull but misses and is hit on the body. The ball dribbles to the leg side and a leg bye is taken.

1
19.1: Shreyanka Patil to Annabel Sutherland, Full, outside off, Annabel Sutherland comes down the track and hits it back to the bowler. Shreyanka Patil is unable to stop that and the ball goes through to long off. Just a single.

18.6: Deepti Sharma to Annabel Sutherland, Length ball, on stumps, Annabel Sutherland hits it off the back foot to deep mid-wicket for a single to end the over. A wicket and 7 runs from the penultimate over!

0
18.5: Deepti Sharma to Annabel Sutherland, A low full toss on the stumps, Annabel Sutherland skips down the track and smacks it straight back to Deepti Sharma who dives to her right and stops the ball on her follow-through.

4
18.4: Deepti Sharma to Annabel Sutherland, FOUR! In the gap and gets off the mark in style does Annabel Sutherland! This is on a good length, on the leg stump line, Annabel Sutherland works it across and neatly threads the gap between square leg and short fine for a boundary.

0
18.3: Deepti Sharma to Ellyse Perry, OUT! CAUGHT! Sajana Sajeevan is in pain but it is a gain for her team. The plan finally works for India. They have kept a deep mid-wicket to try and entice Perry into playing in that region and after hitting a few boundaries through there, she finally falls into that trap. Flighted, on middle, Ellyse Perry comes down the track and heaves across the line. Cannot quite get to the pitch of the ball and hence, the power is not there. Substitute Sajana Sajeevan is stationed at deep mid-wicket and the ball flies straight to her. While taking the catch, the seam of the ball cuts across her fingers and she is in immense pain, but does well not to let the ball go down. Ellyse Perry departs for 32 (23) and the 33-run stand is broken. Australia Women are 134/6 with 9 balls left.

1
18.2: Deepti Sharma to Phoebe Litchfield, DROPPED SHORT! A length ball, around middle Phoebe Litchfield dances down the track and looks to go down the track but slices it. The ball lands just in front of a diving Harmanpreet Kaur at mid off. A run taken.

1
18.1: Deepti Sharma to Ellyse Perry, A short ball, around off, Ellyse Perry rocks back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

17.6: Radha Yadav to Ellyse Perry, A knee-length full toss, Ellyse Perry dances down the ground and works it along the ground for a single to long on.

1
17.5: Radha Yadav to Phoebe Litchfield, Flighted ball, on the stumps, Litchfield sweeps it towards deep square leg for a single.

1
17.4: Radha Yadav to Ellyse Perry, Radha Yadav lands it on a good length, outside off, Ellyse Perry goes deep inside the crease and cuts it to cover. Smriti Mandhana picks and throws in a motion to the keeper's end but Phoebe Litchfield does pretty well to get home safely for a single.

1
17.3: Radha Yadav to Phoebe Litchfield, Down the leg side, PL goes back and works it through square leg for a run.

1
17.2: Radha Yadav to Ellyse Perry, Short, this time in line of the stumps, Perry cuts again and calls for a single now. The throw comes in to the keeper's end where the keeper misses. It goes behind and Perry goes for the overthrow but Litchfield has to dive to make it in, hence is not paying attention. Maybe, she is still thinking about her reprieve. Replay shows that had there been a direct hit, Phoebe would have been gone!

0
17.1: Radha Yadav to Ellyse Perry, Radha Yadav comes into the attack again. Starts off with a short ball, outside off, Ellyse Perry cuts it through point where Deepti Sharma dives to her left and stops it.
