Reminder: Alyssa Healy has strained her calf and will not play any further part in tonight's game. Beth Mooney will keep wickets. McGrath to lead.

avikrams: "don't count India OUT yet, if one stays (Mandhana/Kaur) stays longer on crease!!!"

8.26pm Australia finish on 188! Did not look at one stage that they will get there, but how can you count this team out at any stage? They scored 66 runs in the last five overs, with Perry, Gardner and Harris running riot. Australia were 70 for 2 after ten overs, with two new batters at the crease. Healy had retired hurt, and the bowlers seemed to put on a show. Then Perry and Gardner got together and changed the game on its head. The duo added 94 runs off 59 balls before Garner fell. Harris, however, continued her good form as Australia smoked 118 runs in the last 10 overs. Perry finished 72 not out off 42 balls - best S/R for Perry in a T20I innings where she has scored at least 12 - while Harris was 27* off 12. India are left with a mountain to climb. Can they do it> Join Abhimanyu with the chase in just a bit.

Akash: "This chase depends on how Mandhana will play if she out cheaply india have no chance. "

Sowmya : "Feel Aus have run away with the game. Every new batter has taken on the bowling from the word go. Cricket at its aggressive best!!!!"

Sharma to Gardner, OUT, Deepti does the magic, again! This is top bowling. Loops it up well outside off. Gardner dances down, but she had to fetch it from outside off, and that meant she couldn't quite get the required connection. Mistimes it as far as Harleen Deol at long on, who pouches it comfortably.
