Australia win by 33 runs and are into the semi-finals. New Zealand are all-but out of the tournament, they need a massive favour from Ireland against India to stay alive. Perhaps not Australia's most polished display, but they were still very good. Led, again, by Alyssa Healy with the bat and then an impressive display in the field. Suzie Bates tried to hold the chase together, but the damage was done early with just two runs between Peterson, Devine and Satterthwaite.
Jay: "WOW. Just amazing. Well played Australia!!! Hard luck New Zealand. Respect coming from just up north in the United States "
Alyssa Healy wins another Player of the Match award. "I was pumped with the girls' fight. Our bowling unit responded. A proud win. I've worked really hard on my batting, it's paying off at the moment."
