Harmanpreet Kaur has recalled left-arm off-spinner Radha Yadav, who conceded 14 off her first over. India have used all of their prime bowlers, but nothing has worked so far.
Phoebe Litchfield has been impressive since the start of the match today and she has reached her 90s in Navi Mumbai. India have no clue whatsoever as to how she can be stopped.
Phoebe Litchfield is looking lethal today and she just smacked back-to-back boundaries to finish the 20th over. She is taking the charge and attacking the Indian bowlers while Ellyse Perry is just enjoying watching her from the other end. Litchfield now 17 runs away from hitting another century against the Women in Blue.
In a latest development, ICC Chairman Jay Shah met International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry to discuss the road to LA 2027. They also reflected on the progress made so far and the significant role cricket can play in the growth of the Olympic movement.
India thought they have finally got the breakthrough of Phoebe Litchfield when she brought out the reverse sweep and handed a catch to Amanjot Kaur. However, the replay showed that the ball took a bump into the ground before landing in Amanjot’s hands.
Ellyse Perry hits the first 6 of the 2nd semi-final in Navi Mumbai. She stepped out of the crease and sent Deepti Sharma’s full length delivery towards the side screen.
Ellyse Perry and Phoebe Litchfield are dominating the proceedings at the moment. The duo have already stitched a 62-run partnership with Litchfield scoring a well deserved half-century. India need a flurry of wickets to get back in the game.
Despite the dismissal of Alyssas Healy, Australia have not lost control of the game as they keep moving steadily with Phobe Litchfield looking in fine form. She is approaching her half-century and the Aussies are maintaining a great run-rate of over 6.
After a brief pause due to rain, the 2nd semi-final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai has restarted. The sun is out and it doesn’t look like it will rain anymore. Ellyse Perry has also walked into the crease.
And with the wicket of Alyssa Healy, the game has been stopped due to heavy rain in Navi Mumbai. The players have gone back to the dressing room. Australia are 25/1 after 5.1 overs.
Kranti Gaud removes the Australian skipper Alyssa Healy, who was initially dropped at 3. Gaud bowled it straight and the ball took an inside edge before crashing onto the stumps. Big breakthrough for India.
Oh no, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur drops the catch of Australian counterpart Alyssa Healy. Renuka angled the ball into Healy, who mistimed her shot completely and lofted towards the cover region where Harmanpreet was standing firm. She covered plenty of ground but eventually dropped the catch. Will this dropped chance hurt India?
Phoebe Litchfield plays an exquisite cover drive to score the first boundary of the semi-final here in Navi Mumbai. She scores another 4 to finish the 2nd over from Kranti Gaud.
Renuka Singh concedes just 3 runs off her first over. The ball is moving nicely and the weather seems cool. India will be hoping to take some early wickets to set the tone but Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield would want to unsettle the hosts.
The pre-match formalities are done, the anthems sung, and the hands shaken. It’s time for Australia’s fearsome opening pair of Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield to walk onto the crease. Renuka Singh Thakur has the new ball for India.

With India’s last outing against Bangladesh suffering a washout, there’s a fear that this match, too, might be affected by rain. Which will be bad news for the Women in Blue, as in case of a washout, Australia will progress to the final, courtesy of their better standing in the league table.
