7.00pm That's it from this game. We have West Indies against Bangladesh coming up very soon, with Alagappan Muthu on ball-by-ball. Do jump over to that game now. Until next time, bye!
Alyssa Healy is the Player of the Match. "Really relishing my job at the top of the order, getting the license to go out there and enjoy myself," she says. "Momentum is key for us, and if we keep putting the performances on the board, we can go all the way. We left a few runs out there today, but our bowlers did the job."
6.53pm It was never in doubt, was it? Australia were just at a different level today, and even though they didn't quite hit their absolute top gear - except perhaps when Alyssa Healy was batting - they have won by 52 runs. Umaima Sohail looked good early on, but her run-out basically ended Pakistan's chances of chasing down 166.

The opener felt the team was a few runs short against Pakistan, but said they would readjust their targets in the coming games
