7.00pm That's it from this game. We have West Indies against Bangladesh coming up very soon, with Alagappan Muthu on ball-by-ball. Do jump over to that game now. Until next time, bye!

Alyssa Healy is the Player of the Match. "Really relishing my job at the top of the order, getting the license to go out there and enjoy myself," she says. "Momentum is key for us, and if we keep putting the performances on the board, we can go all the way. We left a few runs out there today, but our bowlers did the job."

6.53pm It was never in doubt, was it? Australia were just at a different level today, and even though they didn't quite hit their absolute top gear - except perhaps when Alyssa Healy was batting - they have won by 52 runs. Umaima Sohail looked good early on, but her run-out basically ended Pakistan's chances of chasing down 166.

19.6
Schutt to Nashra Sandhu, no run

another legcutter. Looks to push down the ground and gets a thick outside edge into the backward point region. Australia wrap up a comprehensive win to start their campaign

19.5
Schutt to Nashra Sandhu, no run

length ball outside off, legcutter. Not sure if she was playing or leaving, but she ends up playing a long way inside the line of the ball

19.4
Schutt to Nashra Sandhu, no run

back of a length on off stump, defended into the covers

19.3
W
Schutt to Sidra Nawaz, OUT

full, angling down leg, and what happened there? Looked to flick, and I think Healy has stumped her unintentionally! Sidra missed the flick and the ball ricocheted off her pads, into Healy's pads, and then into the stumps, and by then the batsman had taken a couple of involuntary steps down the pitch. Amazing!

1w
Schutt to Sidra Nawaz, 1 wide

slower legcutter wide of off stump. Stops on the pitch and turns sharply. Sidra misses the attempted leg-side whip

19.2
1
Schutt to Sana Mir, 1 run

full, close to off stump. A lot of bottom hand in the attempted cover drive, and it ends up rolling into the midwicket region

19.1
Schutt to Sana Mir, no run

looks for the reverse-sweep again, and the length ball, angling down leg, ends up hitting her body

Some good-natured chatter between Mir and Healy as Schutt prepares to bowl the final over.

Molineux to Sana Mir, 1 run

full on middle stump, clears her front leg and swipes along the ground towards deep midwicket
