Australia Women vs India Women, 2nd Semi-Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Radha Yadav to Gardner, out Gardner Run Out!! Miscommunication between the two and Gardner goes. It goes off a thick inside-edge to backward square-leg, Gardner is halfway down and wants the run, no way back as Kranti lobs the ball to Richa Ghosh who does the rest. Maybe Kim Garth could have sacrificed herself, but she didn't. Fine knock this. Gardner run out (Kranti Gaud/Richa Ghosh) 63(45) [4s-4 6s-4]

Radha Yadav to Gardner, SIX, six more. A flat six over deep mid-wicket. Problems for India. It's fired full as Gardner comes down the track, she heaves and gets under that, a flat six, so much power behind that

Radha Yadav to Gardner, SIX, Gardner on the charge. It's tossed up and Gardner comes down the track, is not to the pitch of the ball, heaves it across the line and clears deep mid-wicket with ease. Was to the shorter side of the fence

Deepti Sharma to Gardner, 1 run, Deepti Sharma lucky to get away there. A low full-toss down leg, paddled straight to the fielder at short fine, either side and it was another four

Deepti Sharma to Gardner, no run, so close to leg-stump. Up there in the blockhole, Gardner makes room to access the off-side and misses, just wide of leg-stump

Deepti Sharma to Gardner, FOUR, fires it outside the leg-stump and follows Gardner backing away there, swung away to the deep backward square-leg fence, right into the gap

Radha Yadav to Gardner, 1 run, Gardner misses out, she comes down the track and takes it on the full, but miscues it down to long-on, tried to hit that too hard

Radha Yadav to Gardner, no run, tossed up full outside off, Gardner shuffles across for the slogsweep and the inside-edge hits her thigh and doesn't go far

Radha Yadav to Gardner, 2 runs, tossed up full on off, Gardner leans back and carves it over point, Amanjot runs and slides to prevent the four, saves two, good work there

Radha Yadav to Gardner, SIX, pure muscle. On a length on off, Gardner goes on the back foot and pulls meatily, flat hit and it goes all the way over deep mid-wicket

Amanjot Kaur to Gardner, leg byes, 1 run, Gardner is disappointed. A delivery down leg, length and Gardner goes on the back foot to pull, misses, off the thigh pad and Richa Ghosh can't gather, they sneak a legbye

Amanjot Kaur to Gardner, FOUR, full and following Gardner as she gives the charge, on the pads, flicked away through backward square-leg and it's into the gap

Shree Charani to Gardner, 2 runs, Jemi with good work this time at deep square-leg. Kranti went for the catch and it bounced in front of her, slips away, Jemi dives to her right and palms it back, saves two, Gardner comes down the track and flicks it in the air and Kranti couldn't get to the ball in time

Shree Charani to Gardner, 1 run, dragged down and quicker on leg-stump, Gardner goes on the back foot and pulls to deep square-leg

Shree Charani to Gardner, SIX, tremendous shot. To the shorter side. She comes down the track and is not to the pitch of the ball, but goes through with the shot, flies way over deep mid-wicket, just a bottom-handed shovel and what timing

Shree Charani to Gardner, 2 runs, Kranti with a long chase from deep backward square-leg and dives to her left to keep it to two. She looks to be in pain. But manages to get up and walk away. It's a length delivery on leg-stump, swung away towards deep square-leg and Kranti's brilliant effort saves two, sprinted and put in a full-length dive to palm it back

Deepti Sharma to Gardner, 1 run, drags the length back as Gardner gives the charge and she shovels the length delivery to deep mid-wicket for one

Amanjot Kaur to Gardner, 1 run, fullish on middle and leg, Gardner gets forward to flick to long-on

Amanjot Kaur to Gardner, out McGrath Run Out!! Poor call that and Australia have gifted a wicket. On a length outside off, forced straight to the fielder at extra-cover and there was never a run, despite Jemi at the edge of the ring, McGrath is slow and it's an accurate throw to Richa Ghosh who does the rest. Even a dive wouldn't have saved McGrath. So short she was. Just when Australia were building momentum, the call from Gardner proves to be a costly mistake. Replays show that McGrath was looking at Jemi and that cost her precious seconds. She had backed up well but by looking at the ball, McGrath made a mistake. McGrath run out (Rodrigues/Richa Ghosh) 12(7) [4s-2]

Amanjot Kaur to Gardner, no run, slower-ball off-cutter on off, Gardner gets forward and drives it straight to the fielder at extra-cover

Deepti Sharma to Gardner, wide, fired down leg, tough chance for a stumping that. Maybe Deepti Sharma saw Gardner come down, fires it down leg, good take by Richa Ghosh, but the momentum was taking her to her left, she is not balanced enough and that allows Gardner to get back in

Kranti Gaud to Gardner, 1 run, short of length and dug in outside off, Gardner comes down the track and slashes it straight to the fielder at sweeper cover
