full toss angled across, it looked high but perhaps marginal, she shuffles and swings it away towards deep midwicket where the catch goes down and the ball land on the boundary cushion on the full, but it matters little as New Zealand go down here

That concludes our coverage of this virtual quarter-final. Thanks for joining us, this is Ankur Dhawan signing off
Meg Lanning: Crunch game, we handled it really well. She (Beth Mooney) has been a really good player for a long time, we know her value. Wickets in hand allow you to go hard in the end, and we had two world-class players (Perry and Haynes) at the crease, which made a difference. I guess it took (Perry's injury) the extra pace option away from us. Haven't heard anything (about Perry's injury), it didn't look great, but hopefully she's alright. Goes a lot into managing players, unfortunately we've had a few injuries. We have full confidence, that Bangladesh game was a turning point. I think we showed that we are able to be calm under the pump, we have done the basics right which gives us confidence going into the semi-final
Sophie Devine: They got a few too many. You can always do things differently, in hindsight, cricket's an easy game. Wanted to hold Amelia back for the death overs. That last one was close to a no-ball but credit to Australia.
Georgia Wareham in the player of the match: Felt like I had a bit of confidence. I think they are really dangerous players - Devine, Bates and Green - happy to put my hand up. Pretty special to be in the semi-final, job's not done yet
Australia book themselves a semi-final berth. The margin of victory (4 runs) is a little deceptive, Australia seemed like the likely winners for most part. Martin's cameo adds a little more respectability to New Zealand's eventual total but the sluggish start left them too much to do, and none of their big match players really came to the party. Georgia Wareham was brilliant, she bowled the game's defining spell, picking up the wickets of Bates, Devine and Green to snuff the fight out of the chase.

Schutt to Kasperek, 1 leg bye
it's full and angled in, she skips down and can't work it leg side, the deflection off the pad gives her one, and New Zealand need an unlikely 20 from the last over
New Zealand need a six here
