PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Alyssa Healy

On expected lines, Australia are through to the World Cup final. An unbeaten campaign so far and it's not just the wins but the manner of those victories that should tell you why they are the best side the world by some distance. It took a historical innings in the last WC to eliminate them and it will take something similar in the summit clash to deny them of what looks like another World Cup title. There's still time for that though. Tomorrow, we have the other semifinal which sees England and South Africa squaring off. Should be a much more competitive contest than today's encounter. Do join us for that. Until then, goodbye and take care.

Meg Lanning | Australia skipper: I thought Healy and Haynes set it up nicely for us. West Indies bowled really well upfront. I thought we planned it well and set a really good base. We felt that the first hour was really important. We've played here a number of times on a fresh wicket. The way Healy and Haynes played was great, they left a lot of balls which is important in these conditions. We often speak about how to make maximum use of our batting line-up and today it meant sending her (Gardner) up the order. Yes, it was (almost the perfect game). Anytime you win a semifinal, you got to enjoy the moment but we were quite good in all departments. We don't mind whoever we face to be honest, both are really good teams and we'll be watching tomorrow's game.

Stefanie Taylor | West Indies skipper: When you look at it, it's that partnership that deflated the whole team, that's what the Australians did well. They absorbed the pressure and then they upped the ante, I find out that we couldn't get over that and the amount of drop catches never helped us in the field. To chase that total you have to be positive, we needed someone from the top four to be positive and we just never had that. Deandra tried and I guess we needed a burst like against India or something like that to get that momentum going towards the end. When you have Rashada who is a stroke player and Deandra hits the ball hard and we find that both of them compliment well each other and with me and Hayley next if both of us are, we can get the team over. It was really hard but we were actually looking to get something from the game, at least get to 200. For me, personally just a bit disappointed with my performance especially with the bat and earlier I was carrying a niggle with my bowling and it was a bit hard for me personally.

Alyssa Healy, Player of the Match: Probably not as clinical as I wanted to be (speaking about her previous individual best in World Cups), but once I got to 73 I thought I better make sure I go a little bit further. The group has been so amazing, everyone in the top six has been contributing and haven't really cost us so much. It is just about patience. In One-day cricket you gotta ride the ebbs and flows and comeback through the middle period and batting with someone like Rach, just that level head and calm nature about her keeps you in moment and just sort of kept ticking along which is nice. I don't miss too many at the training (direct hits), so I made it count and it feels good. Coming into this World Cup, we wanted to be at the Hagley Oval on the 3rd and it's been at the forefront of our minds and I guess today was another stepping stone. I thought the girls played outstanding today given the conditions that are thrown at us. There's been a bit of waiting around (before the start) and bit of darkness at the end and I thought everyone did an amazing job. We will just sit back and watch the game tomorrow and see who we are gonna come up against and prepare really well for Sunday. It's a nice place to be in this group in the middle at the minute and hopefully we can enjoy the next few days leading into the final.

18:56 Local Time, 05:56 GMT, 11:26 IST: A real mismatch if there ever was one. You could say that the job was done by Australia in the first half itself. 300-plus even in a full-length ODI would take some doing, so having to do it with five overs less was almost an impossible task for West Indies. However, you wished they had shown more intent to at least make things interesting. Instead, the innings just meandered along once Dottin fell and it was only a matter of time before the game was wrapped up. Australia's potent bowling attack used the surface well and ensured that the WI batters weren't allowed to get away. They were also helped by the fact that their opponents showed very little intent. A comfortable win in the end for Australia who are now just a win away from having a perfect WC campaign. The form they are in, it'll take a really brave person to bet against them.

36.6

Alana King to Taylor, out Caught by Jonassen!! Australia are through to the WC final with a crushing win! As mentioned earlier, Mohammed and Henry won't bat due to fitness issues, so this wicket seals things. Cleverly bowled by King, fired across Taylor who slogs and slices it to backward point. Jonassen does the rest. Taylor c Jonassen b Alana King 48(75) [4s-4]

Alana King to Taylor, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

36.5

Alana King to Connell, 1 run, drifting down leg, clipped down the leg-side and they take a single

36.4

Alana King to Connell, no run, fuller and around off, Connell shuffles and heaves, but is struck on the back leg. Impact well outside the line

36.3

Alana King to Connell, no run, beaten! Loopy leg break, spins past Connell on the outside edge

36.2

Alana King to Taylor, 1 run, slower and around leg stump, nurdled down to fine leg

36.1

Alana King to Taylor, no run, sliding in on off, defended off the back foot

35.6

Gardner to Connell, no run, drifting in on off, Connell gets across and defends

35.5

Gardner to Connell, no run, tossed up on off, bunted back to the bowler

35.4

Gardner to Connell, no run, sliding in on off, Connell lunges and defends

35.3

Gardner to Connell, no run, fuller and around off, blocked out to the leg-side

Shamilia Connell, right handed bat, comes to the crease

35.2

Gardner to K Ramharack, out Lbw!! Gardner has her first! Attacked the sticks with a quicker one that skid off the deck and trapped the batter in front of the stumps. Ramharack's ploy of playing everything off the back foot was bound to get her into trouble at some point. Looks to heave and this slides onto hit her on the back leg. Easy call for the on-field ump and although Ramharack reviews it, there is no luck at all. Three Reds on ball tracking. K Ramharack lbw b Gardner 7(15)

Gardner to K Ramharack, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

West Indies review. Looks a pointless one as it appeared plumb in real time. Flat line on UltraEdge and that should be it for K Ramharack. Three Reds on ball tracking.
