India need to do some soul searching now as two one-sided losses in a row have dented their hopes of qualifying for the semis. For the Aussies, it was a clinical performance and a kind of showing which is expected from the defending champions. This is it from us at the moment and do remember to come back for the live coverage of India's virtual quarterfinal against New Zealand on Saturday.
Until then, Sportskeeda will, as usual, be your one-stop destination for anything and everything related to cricket. Good night folks! It was a pleasure for me, Sumedh Pande, to cover this game.
Mithali Raj: "I thought it was a decent total after losing a wicket in the first two overs. We could have scored more in the middle overs. The bowlers were not upto the mark today. The wicket was gripping at the start and Australia did a good job with the ball. I am not happy with breaking the record because we did not win. It's a do or die game against New Zealand for us now. If we want to win, we have to improve in every department.
Meg Lanning: "I and Perry enjoy batting together. It is good to have her in the middle as she takes some pressure off me. The shoulder is doing fine. I am playing a lot straight because of it and it is helping me. We need to plan for our next game against South Africa. They are a tough opponent. We kept the same team after the loss against England as I had faith in my team. We still have a few areas to improve as we head into the semis. We have come in England to win the World Cup and that is our aim."
Despite a hundred from Punam Raut, a brilliant batting effort by Australia's top four guided them to a victory. India now have to play a do or die game against New Zealand on Saturday to guarantee a place in the semis.
Ellyse Perry finishes it off in style with a straight drive! Australia have completed a comprehensive win over India by a margin of eight wickets. This was a clinical run chase and at no point, it looked as if India were in with a chance. Australia top the group table now!
