That's all we have from Cricinfo today. On behalf of Sudeep, Harshith and Ahsan, this is Sreshth saying good bye.
Fatima Sana, losing captain: I think we just played poor cricket - we accept it as a whole team. Need to accept it. Nushra and Sadia were awesome in bowling, the rest of us need to help them."
Sophie Molineux, winning captain: "We've got options, we've got depth - we are in a good position in that space. We see the opposition and we decide our batting orders based on that. Depth is a good problem to have. Today was really pleasing, to keep pushing on, Pez coming in was really attacking from the start and Voll has been hitting it beautifully. People are stepping up. We always review our games and there are things we wanna tick off, and even though we've had a couple of strong wins, I don't think we've ticked everything off."
Ellyse Perry is the Player of the Match: "Enjoyed batting with Voll and it's a great place to bat. Bowling was a bit lucky [2 wickets in one over] but I enjoyed it. Pakistan's intent was great and challenged us at different points. [Batting] I just wanted to take the game on. We wanted to push up around 200 which is where we ended up. We still got challenged, we lost wickets consistently, so we were happy keeping the rate up. [Consistency] I just enjoy all the challenges that playing cricket throws at you. Training is really fun. Great group, just working on things and enjoying."
Despite the four wins in four games, Australia are still not "assured" of qualification although their net run rate sure keeps them favourites. South Africa and India could also reach four wins by the end of their campaigns while Australia will remain there too if they lose to India.
As for Pakistan, Muneeba's 32 aside, only two others got to double digits. Three run-outs, almost criminal, deflated them further. They're now 0-4 in the competition, with a game against Netherlands only left.
A proud captain and her deputy lead the Australians out of the field, shaking hands with the Pakistan players. A great victory despite a few batting ducks for the Aussies before their next game against India. Today it was the Ellyse Perry show with the bat (with a little help from Georgia Voll) and then with the ball it was some top-class fielding and catching combined with some tidy bowling. Georgia Wareham bowled 11 dots in her 2 overs!

rohan: "This is ridiculous planning from Pakistan. You are 8 down and your best batter has faced 7 balls. "
