Schutt to Richa Ghosh, SIX, Richa Ghosh ends the over well. A floaty slower-ball, leg-cutter on middle, Richa Ghosh gets forward and lofts cleanly and the ball sails all the way over long-off, went a long way too

Schutt to Richa Ghosh, no run, short of length outside off, Richa Ghosh goes on the back foot to cut late and misses, good take by Healy

Schutt to Rodrigues, 1 run, 100 for Rodrigues. She has proved everyone wrong. Was out first ball in India's first game against Sri Lanka and then was dropped. Pushed to 3 after her comeback and she has come up with a 100 in a World Cup semi. And look at the celebration. Nothing. She has a chat with Richa Ghosh and that's it. Concentration and focus on full display. Gets there with a swipe to a short of length delivery outside off, finds long-on and jogs to the other end. Then gets on with her business. She wants to win this
41.3
Schutt to Richa Ghosh, 1 run, full on middle, Richa Ghosh gets forward to drive to long-on and is off the mark
41.2
Schutt to Rodrigues, 1 run, slower-ball leg-cutter on a length outside off, Rodrigues opens the face of the bat and runs it wide of short third man for one
41.1
Schutt to Rodrigues, 2 runs, short of length on off, Rodrigues goes on the back foot and tucks it wide of both deep backward square-leg and deep square-leg, easy two
40
Schutt to Rodrigues, no run, too straight and it ricochets off the stumps at the other end. Full on middle, Rodrigues gets forward to drive and finds the stumps at the other end
39.5
Schutt to Rodrigues, no run, short of length outside off, Rodrigues goes on the back foot and cuts well, but Molineux at backward point dives to her right to cut it off, superb fielding
39.4
Schutt to Deepti Sharma, 1 run, caught at long-off. But won't count. Deepti Sharma comes down the track and slices the low full-toss outside off, straight to Sutherland
39.4
Schutt to Rodrigues, no ball, 1 run, high full-toss on the stumps, Rodrigues miscues on the pull and gets one to deep mid-wicket, the dew there forcing that from Schutt
39.4
Schutt to Deepti Sharma, 2 wides, poor delivery, short of length down leg, Deepti Sharma pulls and misses, Healy gets something and that means it's just one more
39.3
Schutt to Rodrigues, 1 run, full outside off, Rodrigues gets forward to drive and McGrath at mid-off slides to her left and keeps it to one
39.2
Schutt to Deepti Sharma, 1 run, yorker length on off, dug out to short third man, a wild throw and no backing up, Deepti Sharma is not looking at the ball, Rodrigues was ready for the 2nd, there was an easy 2nd, eventually they take one
39.1
Schutt to Rodrigues, 1 run, full on off, Rodrigues gets forward to drive to deep cover

Schutt to Smriti, 2 runs, now she cuts to the left of backward point. Ball racing away but Perry with a stunning save, pushed the ball and ensured she wasn't touching the rope. Great effort that!
6.5

Schutt to Smriti, FOUR, shot! Great placement and great use of the wrists to open the bat face and cut really late. Knows it's mainly going to angling away and playing leg-side will be difficult, stood deep in the crease and split backward point and short third to perfection
6.4
Schutt to Smriti, no run, short of length delivery angling across slightly, Smriti cuts and picks out point
6.3
Schutt to Smriti, no run, and again! This time she gets hit on the leg. Short of a length delivery nipping back in when Smriti is looking for outswing
6.2
Schutt to Smriti, no run, oh cramped her for room and surprised her with a short of length delivery that came back at her. Smriti was looking for away-movement to go off-side, inside edge rolls to the on-side
6.1
Schutt to Smriti, no run, great outie. Pinned Smriti to the crease and forced her to wait on the defence, adjusted for the swing and defended this with an angled bat to point
5
Schutt to Rodrigues, 2 runs, width on this short ball outside off, Jemimah slashes it behind point for a brace
4.5
Schutt to Rodrigues, no run, turns this length delivery to mid-wicket
4.4

4.2
Schutt to Smriti, 1 run, back to accessing the off-side. Length delivery outside off stump, Smriti drives to deep cover
4.1

Schutt to Smriti, byes, FOUR, Oh Australia have got into Smriti's mind. They have a smart off-side field and plugged all holes to deny any off-side boundary. And Schutt is swinging it away so playing across the line is too risky, but the pressure of dots, the knockout game probably played on the mind and she attempted a massive slog across the line unlike her. Luckily the ball just missed off stump and Healy couldn't collect cleanly, got hit on the glove and flings in pain
3
Schutt to Rodrigues, no run, pitched up outside off, Jemimah leans across and pushes it to cover

2.4
Schutt to Rodrigues, 2 runs, short of length with some width, Jemimah rocks back and punches it off the back foot to deep cover
2.3
Schutt to Rodrigues, no run, oh Jemimah had her front foot across the stumps as well. Schutt won't mind that because she could target the pads for LBW with her sharp inswingers. Jemi managed to knock it to the on-side
2.2
Schutt to Rodrigues, no run, lovely inswinger now, Jemimah covers the line and knocks it to the on-side
2.1
Schutt to Smriti, 1 run, short of length delivery moving away outside off stump, Smriti drives to deep cover

Schutt to Smriti, 1 run, nicely cut away using the pace on the ball but there is a deep point now to cut this off
0.5

0.4
Schutt to Shafali Verma, 1 run, shortish delivery, Shafali pulls through backward square leg
0.3
4
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
0.2
Schutt to Smriti, 1 run, punches with the swing as she plays with an angled bat. Australia have deep cover so it's only one
0.1
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
