Sutherland goes with the back of the hand slower ball, Mandhana skipped down to go again but couldn't use the pace to hit it far enough and Gardner takes it five metres in from the rope 140/22.4 taken at mid-on! Full at off stump, Shafali looks to loft straight down the ground, slices across it a touch, gets elevation but no distance. Sutherland settles under it 19/119.3 picks out mid-off! Well struck but Perry takes a good catch on the circle. Slower ball again, she nails a drive flat but Perry jumps and hangs on with two hands above her head 174/418.4 skewed to backward point! Tossed up outside off, she tries to loft over cover, slices it off the outer half of the bat and it floats to backward point. Simple catch for Voll 168/319.5 run trying to pinch a leg bye! Slower ball bouncer, well bowled, she's through the shot, it comes off the shoulder and goes behind to Mooney, the keeper fumbles, Harmanpreet runs but Amanjot took awhile to go and Mooney was able to recover and run into the stumps and break them 175/519.6 run out trying for two! Slower ball wide of off, she drags it towards long-on, they get one and try for two, Perry runs in and fires to Mooney who takes the bails ahead of Deepti's dive 176/6Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL176/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Shafali Verma, 2.4 ov), 2-140 (Smriti Mandhana, 16.2 ov), 3-168 (Richa Ghosh, 18.4 ov), 4-174 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 19.3 ov), 5-175 (Amanjot Kaur, 19.5 ov), 6-176 (Deepti Sharma, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 big top edge, taken! Huge moment. Full outside off, Voll goes for a slog sweep, goes high in the air off the top edge over the keeper, Renuka gets there from short fine leg although didn't look entirely confident 19/12.2 taken at deep square! Wow, what a moment. Wasn't a great delivery, full on the pads, Mooney whipped it away sweetly but hit it straight to the fielder who is a decent way in off the rope and she's neatly held 21/28.2 taken at long-off! Live by the sword, die by it. Another switch hit, this time in the air straight down the ground and it's a simple catch. Couldn't get it square enough this time 63/43.3 cleaned up! Jeepers. What was that from Perry? Charged out of the crease, nowhere near the pitch, heaves to the leg side, spins through the gate into middle stump. Credit Patil, though, super piece of bowling as well 32/315.5 Rodrigues takes a brilliant catch at deep midwicket! Good length on off, she pulls in the air to deep midwicket, Rodrigues charges in at pace and it sticks in the hands as she tumbles to the ground. 128/612.6 Amanjot juggles and holds on at deep midwicket! Knee high full toss, there to be hit to Henley Beach, she gets under it and it goes high to deep midwicket, Amanjot settles under it and has three bites but holds on 98/517.4 given lbw! Looks plumb. Sutherland reviews in hope. Darted in full to middle and off, Sutherland opens up to reverse sweep and is hit on the back pad infront of middle. Ball tracking shows three reds. Smashing the middle of middle 143/916.1 steps on her stumps despite pulling it for four! Short on off, she was so deep she stepped on off stump as she pulled it for four! Amazing dismissal 130/716.5 given lbw! Molineux reviews. This looks out. Steps outside off and tries to sweep, she's hit on the shin infront of off. Ball tracking says umpires call on impact. It's crashing into middle and off. It remains out but the review is kept. 137/8Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL159/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Georgia Voll, 1.2 ov), 2-21 (Beth Mooney, 2.2 ov), 3-32 (Ellyse Perry, 3.3 ov), 4-63 (Phoebe Litchfield, 8.2 ov), 5-98 (Georgia Wareham, 12.6 ov), 6-128 (Ashleigh Gardner, 15.5 ov), 7-130 (Grace Harris, 16.1 ov), 8-137 (Sophie Molineux, 16.5 ov), 9-143 (Annabel Sutherland, 17.4 ov)
