Australia secured their place in the semi-finals of the Women’s T20 World Cup with a narrow nine-run victory over India, finishing with a score of 151-8 while restricting India to 142-9. Tahlia McGrath stepped up as captain in the absence of the injured Alyssa Healy and made a significant contribution with a quickfire 32 runs. As India chased down the target, Australia had already ensured their qualification by the halfway mark of the innings. However, the defending champions were determined to maintain their dominance, ultimately sealing the win with an impressive performance that included four wickets taken by Annabel Sutherland in the final over. This defeat leaves India in a precarious position regarding their chances of advancing to the semi-finals.
