Women's T20 World Cup
Semi-final: Australia lost to South Africa by 8 wickets
Dubai, 17 October.
Australia 134/5 (20 overs: B Mooney 44, E Perry 31, T McGrath 27; A Khaka 2-24, M Kapp 1-24, N Mlaba 1-31)
South Africa 135/2 (17.2 overs: A Bosch 74*, L Wolvaardt 42; A Sutherland 2-26)
Anneke Bosch's 50 came off 31 balls (ICC/Getty Images)
A partnership of exactly 50 between Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath enabled Australia to bounce back from the early loss of Grace Harris and Georgia Wareham. With a surge in the final overs from Elysse Perry and Phoebe Lichfield, Australia posted a respectable 134. But South Africa well on course at the drinks break at 74/1, Bosch and Wolvaardt powering on when play resumed, adding 96 for the second wicket. Australia simply had no answer to the power and aggression of the South African batting who did to Australia what Windies did to England.
Women's T20 World Cup
Group B: England lost to West Indies by 6 wickets
Dubai, 15 October.
England 141/7 (20 overs: N Sciver-Brunt 57*, H Knight ret.hurt 21; A Fletcher 3-21, H Matthews 2-35)
West Indies 144/4 (18 overs: Q Joseph 52, H Matthews 50, D Dottin 27)
POTM Qiana Joseph scored a maiden T20 Half-century (ICC/Getty Images)
England knocked out in every sense as the Windies chased down a challenging total on a tricky pitch with two overs to spare. England owed their total to a Sciver-Brunt unbeaten half-century on a night when the rest of their powerful batting line up misfired. No such problem for the Windies whose openers Hayley Matthews and Qiana Joseph blasted their way to 100 to set up the win. Even the loss of both within an over could not stop the charge as Deandra Dottin added 27 in just 19 balls. England second best in all areas of the game tonight.
