- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 The pressure was building on Matthews and Wareham has accounted for her first ball. Mooney's yeeeeaaah shows how big a wicket this is. Pushed quicker on off stump, Matthews an ungainly lap, misses and sees her stumps in a mess 47/19.1 Slog swept straight down Gardner's throat. Joseph's misery finally ends. Gently tossed up outside off stump, she sweeps but only as far as deep midwicket where Gardner does the rest 55/215.3 And, Wareham has her second. This time Campbelle hits it straight to mid-off. Uses her feet again but can't quite get under that. Toe ends it to Ellyse Perry, who's never dropping those. Campbelle throws her head back before walking off 83/610.2 Easy does it, and West Indies lose their third wicket in as many overs! This is on a length outside off and Taylor goes back to try and tuck it leg side. Gardner's really slowed this down and Taylor closes her bat face early and the ball chips off the leading edge to midwicket. Kim Garth cleans up and Australia are in complete control here 59/310.5 Hit straight to cover, and West Indies are coming undone here. Looks to go on the attack, skipping out to this full ball. Hits it hard, but straight to the Aussie skipper at cover, who grabs it reverse-cupped in front of her face. Gardner has two in the over 59/414.1 Henry looks to go big, but not big enough! This is full and wide and she reaches out and tries to slam it down the ground. Slices it a little and it doesn't have the legs to go all the way. Simple catch at long-on 73/519.6 Sutherland gets a wicket to end the innings as Glasgow looks to swing this back-of-hand slower ball over the leg side. Mooney with a nice diving catch to her left. And Australia will need 126 to reach the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup final! 125/7Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL125/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Hayley Matthews, 8.1 ov), 2-55 (Qiana Joseph, 9.1 ov), 3-59 (Stafanie Taylor, 10.2 ov), 4-59 (Jahzara Claxton, 10.5 ov), 5-73 (Chinelle Henry, 14.1 ov), 6-83 (Shemaine Campbelle, 15.3 ov), 7-125 (Jannillea Glasgow, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 Oh, what a riposte from Henry. Goes under the bat and clatters into Voll's stumps. Beaten for pace is Voll and Henry is pumped. Slower offcutter that lands full on off and middle. Voll looks to go down the ground but is beaten and sees her stumps in a mess 29/14.4 Huge appeal for lbw as Litchfield misses the reverse sweep and is struck in front. The umpire stays unmoved and WI have reviewed. Was there any glove or bat involved? Doesn't look like. Oh, this looks close. And yep, Litchfield is a goner. Floated on middle stump, she goes reverse, misses and is struck in front. The tracker confirms the ball would have shattered into leg stump. 43/26.6 Almost. On the fuller side of length, she pushes to the right of Alleyne, who fails to stop that. 64/2Extras9 (lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL127/2 (13 Overs, RR: 9.76)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Georgia Voll, 2.6 ov), 2-43 (Phoebe Litchfield, 4.4 ov), 2-64* (Ellyse Perry, retired not out )
