- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 a stunning catch! A first-ball wicket! What a start for Pakistan! Good-length ball outside off. No real turn but angling into Mooney slightly. Mooney gets in position for a cut but eventually opts to poke at it instead. All she can do is edge the catch to first slip, who dives to her right and makes an amazing grab with her right hand! 0/19.3 straight to long off! Voll was looking to keep the scoreboard going at a good rate, and she perishes trying to do that. Full just outside off. Voll plants her front leg forward and then swings the bat to hit it down the ground but she toe-ends it slightly. Iram at long off positions herself well, and gobbles it up. A century-stand ends 100/217.3 Pakistan are appealing for it! And Fatima Sana has reviewed it. A well directed bouncer and Perry looks to get under it, but doesn't connect. The ball goes over her bat and Muneeba dives forward to pluck it. On-field umpire turns it down. There is disturbance on the snicko meter as the ball passes the gloves. The third umpire now wants to make sure that Muneeba held on to it cleanly. And it is adjudged a clean catch. An excellent review for Pakistan 167/69.5 one brings two! That's a second duck for an Aussie batter. Length ball around off and stays a shade low. Gardner initially thinks of pulling but the bounce makes her adjust and try to go bottom-to-top in her leg-side swipe. She half-checks, half-plays an across-the-line shot, which flies straight to cow corner! 100/310.4 Gull Feroza has been on fire today and she was never going to drop that. On a length on off and Wareham cuts that one right to point, where Feroza makes sure that she takes the simple catch. Pakistan are pulling this game back! 107/416.1 Fatima Sana takes a good catch at long on. Sutherlands looks to clear the boundary down the ground but failed to make a clean connection. The Pakistan captain sprinted forward to complete the catch. 151/518.2 And she has struck top of her middle stump! On a length, angling in, the Aussie captain moves across to access the fine leg but fails to connect. 178/7Extras21 (b 8, lb 2, w 11)TOTAL199/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Beth Mooney, 0.1 ov), 2-100 (Georgia Voll, 9.3 ov), 3-100 (Ashleigh Gardner, 9.5 ov), 4-107 (Georgia Wareham, 10.4 ov), 5-151 (Annabel Sutherland, 16.1 ov), 6-167 (Ellyse Perry, 17.3 ov), 7-178 (Sophie Molineux, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 Oh no! Muneeba would be gutted with herself. Banged in short and it was there to be hit. The batter smacks it right from the middle of her bat only to find Gardner at deep midwicket. Perry is having an amazing evening. Top-scored earlier and takes a wicket on her first ball. 65/51.2 Oh what has happened there?! Mooney moves across to collect the wide down Muneeba's legs but fumbles. Feroza rushes for a single but Muneeba is caught ball watching. Voll collects the ball and throws it to the non-striker's end where Feroza running back is caught short. 8/12.3 And the captain strikes! Looks to slog sweep a length ball, which was angling into stumps, out of the park but it doesn't have enough power in it. Safely grabbed by Gardner at deep midwicket. 17/24.1 Oh, Pakistan, what are you doing? Lucy continues from around the wicket, pitches up outside off and Ayesha pushes it to cover and sprints towards the non-striker's end. Muneeba is caught ball watching and sends Ayesha back, who doesn't make in time. 30/36.2 Chopped on! In the slot outside off and Javed gets in the position to carve it behind the square but it was too close to her body. The ball takes the inside edge of her bat and hits the root of her offstump. 50/49.6 And Aliya's hapless World Cup continues. It kicked a little from the surface after pitching on length. Aliya looked to work it towards third but ended up gloving it to the keeper. 74/613.3 regulation for Mooney as Fatima is the ninth batter gone. Slower ball, a short of good length ball. Fatima tries to drag a pull behind square but she only gets a top-edge. Ball goes up about 30 feet before landing in the safe hands of Mooney. 85/910.4 Another run out and Pakistan's support staff all have the heads buried in their hands.length ball. Walks down the track and hits it to mid on. Rameen is 2/3rds way down as the fielder Voll runs from cover towards mid off, intercepts, and throws it to the keeper's end. Keeper is a bit far away from the stumps but Rameen is farther away. Bails are comfortably removed and Pakistan are seven down 75/710.6 bullseye! Length ball searing into Sandhu's pads. She tries to get bat on ball but the ball beats the blade. Crashes into middle stump and Molineux earns a reward for bowling a stump-to-stump line 75/813.4 edged and taken! Australia win by 113 runs! This was a full ball outside off and Sadia threw her bat at it. Thick edge, Mooney moves to her left in one swift motion and that's curtains. 86/10Extras9 (w 9)TOTAL86 all out (13.4 Overs, RR: 6.29)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Gull Feroza, 1.2 ov), 2-17 (Saira Jabeen, 2.3 ov), 3-30 (Ayesha Zafar, 4.1 ov), 4-50 (Iram Javed, 6.2 ov), 5-65 (Muneeba Ali, 9.1 ov), 6-74 (Aliya Riaz, 9.6 ov), 7-75 (Rameen Shamim, 10.4 ov), 8-75 (Nashra Sandhu, 10.6 ov), 9-85 (Fatima Sana, 13.3 ov), 10-86 (Sadia Iqbal, 13.4 ov)
