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

Kranti Gaud to Perry, 3 runs, a fumble from Amanjot at extra-cover and they take three. Sloppy stuff. A half-volley outside off, Perry gets forward and drives towards extra-cover, Amanjot gets an awkward bounce but she can't stop it, Harman goes back and dives to pull it back, saves a run

Kranti Gaud to Gardner, 1 run, short of length and dug in outside off, Gardner comes down the track and slashes it straight to the fielder at sweeper cover

Kranti Gaud to Gardner, no run, close to being a wide. Short and wide outside off, Gardner chases it and looks to slash, misses, Kranti Gaud lucky to get away there

Kranti Gaud to Gardner, no run, dug in short outside off, left alone and it's called one short ball for the over

Kranti Gaud to Perry, 1 run, short of length outside off, Perry opens the face of the bat and runs it down to short third man, Gardner races across for a quick single

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

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, no run, full delivery, Perry drives and finds Radha at cover

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

Kranti Gaud to Perry, no run, fullish and on the stumps, Perry knocks it to mid-on

Kranti Gaud to Perry, no run, full and on the stumps, Perry drives and finds mid-off

Kranti Gaud to Perry, no run, back over the wicket for this full delivery, Perry drives to the right of the bowler

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, 1 run, oh inside edge rolls past the stumps! Wanted to drive against the incoming angle, ball escapes to backward square leg

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, no run, short of length delivery on the off stump, Phoebe covers the line and blocks

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, no run, round the wicket now for this length delivery, Phoebe defends

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, 5 wides, oh dear! Another spray down leg. Twice now that she's tried to bowl leg-side as follow up to a wide full ball outside off stump. Richa couldn't effect a clean stop to the right

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, wide, fires this down the leg-side

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

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 Phoebe Litchfield, 4 runs, oh dear! What was a dot ball is four overthrows now. Phoebe defended this length delivery straight to Deepti at cover. She has a needless shy at Perry's end because the non-striker seemed to be out of the crease but in reality she was always going to have the time to plonk her bat in time

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, no run, fullish and just outside off stump, Phoebe drives to mid-off

Kranti Gaud to Perry, 1 run, good length delivery, Perry taps it to point and opens the account. Wide throw from Radha and Richa couldn't collect, thankfully there was back up

Kranti Gaud to Perry, no run, past the outside edge! Perry tried to push at this away-moving length delivery, ball nips away and threatens the outside edge

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, no run, full and asking for the drive with the ball moving away, Phoebe lifts the bat and lets it go

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, no run, now plays a rash slog and misses the ball! Full delivery nibbling away outside off stump, Phoebe walks down the pitch for a mighty mid-wicket smash, misses

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

Kranti Gaud to Healy, leg byes, 1 run, fullish and moving back in, Healy mistimes the clip to short mid-wicket

Kranti Gaud to Healy, no run, full delivery, Healy drives and picks out mid-off

Kranti Gaud to Healy, no run, again bat turns in her hands as she looks to drive throught he off-side, ball rolls into the on-side

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, no run, Kranti Gaud ensures this isn't driveable, Phoebe defends this length delivery towards cover

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

Kranti Gaud to Phoebe Litchfield, no run, nice length delivery just outside off stump, Phoebe plays a calming defence

Kranti Gaud to Healy, 1 run, loses control and bowls a low full toss, boundary ball but Healy is very watchful and clips it uppishly to short mid-wicket

Kranti Gaud to Healy, no run, lovely nip-backer from good length. Great seam presentation, Healy keeps a straight bat as she knocks it towards mid-off
