Women's T20 World Cup: West Indies squeeze past Pakistan in thriller (The Indian Express)

Bidding to build on their win over Ireland, the Windies opted to bat and posted a below-par 116-6 at Boland Park.

Matthews was at the heart of the action again two balls later when she took a sharp catch at midwicket to account for Sidra Ameen, with Pakistan at 15 for two. Matthews perished late in the powerplay when she tried to lift Fatima Sana over the midwicket boundary but only found the hands of Sidra Ameen. Matthews and Rashada Williams flayed 15 from the bowling of Aiman Anwer in the fourth over but navigated the powerplay in cagey fashion.

In that case, they will also have six points. Pakistan, who have lost to India in their opening match, have two points from two matches and they also have a chance to make it to the last four if they win their last two matches.

The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will now need not only a win against Ireland in their last group match on Monday but also a big one to have any chance of filling up the remaining semifinal spot from Group 2. After the 11-run loss to England on Saturday, their first defeat in the showpiece, India are in second spot with four points from three matches behind England (six points from three straight wins) who have qualified for the semifinals.

This was Sri Lanka's second big loss in the tournament and its hopes of progressing to the semifinals from the five-team group are over.

Her entertaining innings, however, ended soon after she spooned a catch to Chamari Athapaththu at mid-off with Achini Kulasuriya earning the breakthrough.

FOUR! Shafali is beaten driving to drive the last ball of the over. Two more dots to start the over. Full toss and Mandhana steps out and looks to cleat midwicket but finds the fielder, who drops a straightforward catch. Still struggling to time the ball and find the gaps. The captain gets off the mark with a single at mid-on. Harmanpreet Kaur drives a low full toss to long-on for a single and Mandhana pulls a half-tracker to deep square for one more. She whips the next one through midwicket for a couple and becomes the first Indian to reach 3000 T20I runs. Mandhana gets to her fifty in style as she slog sweeps the last ball of the over for a maximum over deep midwicket. This is in the slot on off-stump and Mandhana pummels this over wide long-on for half a dozen. Outside edge from Lewis and it drops just short of Deepti at slips and goes to the boundary. Delany slices this through point and to the boundary.

Women's T20 World Cup: India seal semifinal berth with win over ... (The Indian Express)

Harmanpreet Kaur & Co likely to face Australia in the last four as batting troubles continue in T20 World Cup.

Australia, the defending champions have been the most dominant side in the competition and the women’s game in general over the last several years. The Irish bowlers focused on not giving any pace on the ball for the Indian batters to use, and while it frustrated Shefali, Smriti very smartly hit with the wind to reach or clear the boundary, with ample help from the Irish fielders. The slight hesitation between Hunter and her batting partner Gaby Lewis, meant the former was well short of the crease when the bails were dislodged. If the Irish were a bit more agile and athletic on the field, it’s not inconceivable that they might have had their noses in front when the contest came to a premature end. The difference between the two teams came to the fore on the first ball of the chase itself. There was an easy single on offer, but the two openers decided on a risky second.
