- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 inswinger from Renuka, big appeal for lbw... India are going to review, and I reckon this is going to be close. Hit on the knee roll, bang in line with off stump - and it's clattering middle! Brilliant review, Jacqueline Williams has to overturn her decision. Harmanpreet deliberated right until the last second before calling on the DRS, but the gamble has paid off 9/117.2 Deepti's hand of god moment!? She backtracks from mid-on and just sticks out her right arm even as she was losing balance. But what she did crucially well was having her eyes on the ball. The ball sticks and stays there despite the tumble. It is a massive wicket as Mooney walks back. She looked to hack one across the line but only managed to miscue it. 142/610.1 Smart cricket by Radha, has she run Lanning out? Yes, she has! Lanning has to trudge back and this is all down to the bowler's brilliance and awareness. She floated it full on middle, Mooney slinked down to push it back. Radha got to the bowl and as Taniya shouted "maar de (hit it)," just back-flicked it onto the stumps at her end. Lanning was diving back to make it in but was short. Superb stuff! 83/211.1 Add more Radha Yadav brilliance to India's fielding. She has taken a screamer diving full length to her left at backward point. Take a bow! Deepti lands it on a length outside off, McGrath goes back and plays the cut aerially. Radha quickly gets to her left and dives to pouch it and bangs the ball down. Massive wicket as it is not everyday that TMac goes back cheaply. 87/315.1 Rana gets Gardner stumped! Deceived her in flight and that's a massive wicket ahead of the death overs. Tossed up outside off at 72 kph, she came down to smite it but is through with the shot missing the ball completely. Simple work by Taniya's standard. 125/416.2 This is more height and no distance. Renuka strikes and bags her second. Fuller one outside off, slower as well perhaps. Harris wanted to tonk it but ends up skying it off the toe end. Meghna runs to her left from midwicket to take that safely. Not an easy one considering she had to run backwards as well. 133/518.3 Easy catch for Meghna at midwicket. Floated full outside off, King goes for a cross-batted slog, finds the lone fielder inside the circle on the leg side. 150/719.2 Direct hit at the bowler's end but Jonassen's dive might have saved her. She pushes the full ball straight to mid-off and hares to the other end. Mandhana had enough time to take her time and hit and she does. And Jonassen is short despite the dive. 157/8Extras7 (b 4, w 3)TOTAL161/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.05)Did not bat: D BrownFall of wickets: 1-9 (Alyssa Healy, 2.2 ov), 2-83 (Meg Lanning, 10.1 ov), 3-87 (Tahlia McGrath, 11.1 ov), 4-125 (Ashleigh Gardner, 15.1 ov), 5-133 (Grace Harris, 16.2 ov), 6-142 (Beth Mooney, 17.2 ov), 7-150 (Alana King, 18.3 ov), 8-157 (Jess Jonassen, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.4 McGrath grabs the steepler this time! And she can't celebrate with her team-mates, due to her Covid diagnosis...! Verma does get herself out to Gardner in the end, this time hoicking the ball high but not very far, to be taken at mid-on 22/21.5 bowled behind her legs! Mandhana's early sortie is cut off, as Brown pegs back the leg stump. She moved across early, perhaps convinced Brown would hang the ball out wide again. Instead, she went full and straight, and struck the woodwork 16/114.3 Australia needed a wicket. They called upon Schutt and Schutt delivered. And she dishes out an aggressive shout after castling Rodrigues, who throws back her head in disappointment. Makes room to explore the off side yet again but misses and is clean bowled. End of the 96-run stand. 118/315.5 Gardner has the massive wicket. It is Harmanpreet and she will be on a hat-trick! Gardner fires it on a length around off, Harmanpreet gets down to play the scoop pretty early. Watches it but the ball hits her helmet and lobs up to the off side. Healy runs to her right and takes it safely. Is the gold medal slipping away from India? 121/515.4 Vastrakar holes out to deep midwicket and Gardner has her second. Big wicket considering Vastrakar's abilities. She comes down the track to target the on-side boundary but fails to get the distance. 121/418.3 Schutt appeals for lbw, given! Deepti reviews straightaway. I think I heard an inside edge. Let's see. She looked to flick the full ball around off and then was hit on her pads. Well, no inside edge there. Now the impact - it is in line and three reds. Excellent decision from Jacqueline Williams. 149/817.3 Curtains for Rana and it is poor running! Moves across and mistimes the pull towards short fine leg. But she runs around to make it to the other end. In the interim, the throw is accurate to Gardner who disturbs the stumps. 139/618.1 Bull's eys at the bowler's end and that should be that for Radha. She makes room and smashes the length ball to mid-off and sets off. Doesn't beat the throw. India committing harakiri. Harris with the throw there. 145/719.3 Trapped in front! Australia, wearing the gold, have won the gold medal! Hold on! Yastika opts for the review now. She looks to reverse-sweep the length ball that landed on middle and seemed to have got it off the front pad after missing it. Clipping the wickets and that completes Australia's trilogy! 152/1019.2 Now Yastika comes down and hits it to long-off and goes for the run. Understandably, she wanted two and Meghna had no chance of making it back. But Yastika manages to cross over. Meghna unhappy with Yastika but that chat for later. 152/9Extras11 (b 5, w 6)TOTAL152 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 7.79)Did not bat: T Bhatia †Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Smriti Mandhana, 1.5 ov), 2-22 (Shafali Verma, 2.4 ov), 3-118 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 14.3 ov), 4-121 (Pooja Vastrakar, 15.4 ov), 5-121 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 15.5 ov), 6-139 (Sneh Rana, 17.3 ov), 7-145 (Radha Yadav, 18.1 ov), 8-149 (Deepti Sharma, 18.3 ov), 9-152 (Meghna Singh, 19.2 ov), 10-152 (Yastika Bhatia, 19.3 ov)
