AUS-W Beat IND-W By Five Runs | India vs Australia Live Score Updates of ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 Semifinal: Defending Champions Down Spirited India To Reach Final

And Australia have beaten India. What a match this has been, as India came close but eventually fell short by just five runs! The Women in Blue did well for a good part of their run chase, but that Harmanpreet Kaur dismissal really changed the game. Australia, on the other hand, continue their dominance and have marched onto yet another final. India have a lot to be proud of but Australia were clinical in the end. 

OUT! Jess Jonassen has dismissed Sneh Rana with the ball crashing into the stumps! Is this is the end for India. Rana came down the wicket but she missed the ball which rattled her stumps. Sneh Rana b Jess Jonassen 11(10) 

OUT! A lucky break for Australia as Harmanpreet Kaur is run out! The Indian captain looked so good for her fifty but has her bat stuck before she could make it past the line. She is livid with this and India have been rocked! Harmanpreet Kaur run out (Ashleigh Gardner/Alyssa Healy) 52(34)

FIFTY! Harmanpreet Kaur has fought remarkably well for India to make a comeback into this game with a brilliant fifty! She has taken the attack to Australia and given her side a real chance in this match! 

OUT! Australia have a breakthrough and it is the big wicket of Jemimah Rodrigues! Darcie Brown dug in a short delivery and Rodrigues, attempting to put it above the keeper's head, only ended up edging it. A big wicket this as Rodrigues was looking very good! Jemimah Rodrigues c Alyysa Healy b Darcie Brown 43(24)

What a response this has been from the two right-handers. It seemed that India were going down without a fight after the loss of three early wickets but Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues have fought back hard and strong for the Women in Blue. This is turning out to be a good contest and at the moment, Indians are ahead. 

India have made a strong fightback in this match with Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur keeping up the scoring rate with some good shots on both sides of the wicket. Kaur hit a massive six in the last over of the powerplay to signal her and India's intention--that they are not giving up. 

OUT! Another one falls and this time, it is Yastika Bhatia. She hit the ball straight to mid-wicket and goes for a quick run. There was no run there and she finds herself short of her crease with Alyssa Healy taking off the bails. Yastika run out (Grace Harris/Alyssa Healy) 4(7)

OUT! Smriti Mandhana has been dismissed and Ashleigh Gardner has struck! Australia have a big wicket. The decision was reviewed by Meg Lanning after the ball struck Mandhana's pad and TV replays showed that it was hitting the stumps. Smriti Mandhana lbw b Ashleigh Gardner 2(5)

OUT! Australia have the first wicket and it is that of Shafali Verma! Megan Schutt, the joint-highest wicket-taker of the tournament, traps Verma in front as she misses the flick shot. Shafali Verma lbw b Megan Schutt 9(6) 

A good start from India in this first over of the game with Shafali Verma hitting Ashleigh Gardner for a four off the last ball. Ten runs off the first over and India will need to keep this tempo up in this chase. 

What a way to finish the innings! Meg Lanning strikes a massive six off the last ball to finish Australia's batting effort on a high. Renuka Thakur has not had a good time today, conceding 18 runs off the last over of this contest. Australia have a very good total on the board and India will need a remarkable batting effort to come out on top here.

OUT! Shikha Pandey has dimissed Grace Harris, who went for a heave on the leg-side. Indians are getting the wickets but will they be able to restrict Australia to a score below 160? Grace Harris b Shikha Pandey 7(4)

OUT! Deepti Sharma has struck and dismissed the dangerous Ashleigh Gardner! The right-hander fails to dig out the yorker from Deepti Sharma and the ball goes straight and hits the stumps. India have a breakthrough here and a fine innings from Gardner comes to an end. Ashleigh Gardner b Deepti Sharma 31(18)  

Fourteen runs off the over! Australian captain Meg Lanning has taken the attack to Sneh Rana and scored some quick runs in this over. She will look to carry on in the same manner and India on the other hand, need to get one more wicket. 

India have managed to send Beth Mooney back to the hut after Shafali Verma made up for her earlier mistake and ended up taking a good catch. Mooney tried to cut a delivery but it went straight to Verma. India need a few more to restrict Australia to a chaseable total. 

FIFTY for Beth Mooney! The Australian opener has been in fine form and has made the most of the reprieve she got. She started off well and scored a fine fifty in the semifinal of this competition. India under pressure!

Another let down for India and this time, it is Shafali Verma who has dropped a sitter! Beth Mooney hit straight to her and Verma, who looked to be catching it, ended up dropping a simple catch. Meg Lanning was earlier dropped by Richa Ghosh.
