Australia Women vs India Women, 2nd Semi-Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Alex Blackwell 90(56)
40.1
Deepti Sharma to Blackwell, out Bowled!! Cleaned up. And the unthinkable has happened. India seal the deal, at their fortress. Attempts a pull, a flat bat to a delivery way too full to be playing these. The ball sneaks under, scoots through and the middle of middle is pegged out. A place at Lord's is India's. They've dismantled the World Champs. 36 runs. Blackwell b Deepti Sharma 90(56) [4s-10 6s-3]
