AUS Women won by 8 wickets (with 51 balls remaining)
That's it from all of us here today. Please do join us tomorrow for the game between England and India
Perry is player of the match: It isn't hot but humid, pretty much like back home. It is nice to execute different plans. Our bowling unit has been great for the time we have been in India. It is nice to have an opportunity to open and I enjoy opening
Lanning: It was one of those things(the catch) you try and hope they stick. Probably tried to hit a lot harder too early. [bowling changes] I go by gut feel and good to see it working. Beth Mooney may be fit for the final and it would be good to have her as she is good form.
Knight: Didn't do well with the bat. Alice played well under pressure. You don't have a lot of time in T20 and need to asses the conditions faster. We will learn more from today than the two wins
Australia win by 8 wickets and leave England with a lot of thinking to do. That they won so comprehensively is a setback for England. Lanning seems to be rediscovering her touch and with Mooney set to come back in the final, England have their cut out. The silver lining is their last match against India (before the final) where they will look to iron their deficiencies out.
