India Women 177/3(19.4 overs)

Sensational win by India. They win by 7 wickets with two balls to spare! That is the third-highest successful chase in Women's T20Is and India's highest. A sensational chase set up by India's openers in Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. Rodrigues kept the rate going and Kaur and Sharma finished it off. Ash Gardner is Player of the Match for her 93 but India will celebrate.

jeet: "This win will be the one of the best win in Indian women cricket history .To beat Australia in their home grounds is very special . Congratulations to Indian women cricket team "

Bimal: "Perfect chase by India. All 5 of top order doing their job well under pressure. Good signs for India."

That's a big win in the context of the series. Australia must win tomorrow against England. If they do it will come down to net run-rate to decide who will play in Wednesday's final. Thanks for your company today at the Junction Oval.
