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

Kim Garth to Shafali Verma, out Lbw!! Not a great return to the side for Shafali. She promised and got the crowd fully excited but she's fallen prey to shuffling across the line to a nip-backer and missed a fairly straight one. Smart of Kim Garth to try the nip-backer from good length because Shafali was hitting it hard when she was trying to swing. Wobbly length delivery, cut back in and beat the attempted flick and thud Shafali in line with middle stump. Because she shuffled across the stumps she was always a sitting duck and ball-tracker said smashing leg stump. Shafali Verma lbw b Kim Garth 10(5) [4s-2]

Kim Garth to Shafali Verma, FOUR, oh smashed! She walked down the pitch to take it in the slot and belted the lofted drive over cover with no intention of keeping it down. The ball did swing away nicely but Shafali had it covered

Schutt to Shafali Verma, 1 run, shortish delivery, Shafali pulls through backward square leg

Schutt to Shafali Verma, FOUR, like India, Australia don't have a fine leg as well and like India's new ball bowlers when they strayed on the pads, it's easy pickings this time for Shafali as she glances fine for four

Schutt to Shafali Verma, 1 run, short of length delivery with gentle inswing, punched off the back foot to cover and Smriti gets home safely before the throw came at her end
