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

Amanjot Kaur to Phoebe Litchfield, out Bowled!! Finally! That looked like the only way Litchfield could get out today. She walked a long way across, tried to play the lap sweep and missed it completely. There was fine leg in place and not sure if Litchfield would have scored a boundary there. There wasn't enough pace or bounce on the delivery and Litchfield was a bit too early into her shot. The ball grips a touch and hits the top of middle stump. A sigh of relief in the Indian camp as they celebrate the wicket of the centurion. Phoebe Litchfield b Amanjot Kaur 119(93) [4s-17 6s-3]

So much doubt of a bump ball and the replays confirm the ball hit the bat, then flew off the ground to short third.

Here she was only trying to hit along the ground past point. Phoebe was walking back but she was then asked to stop as they were checking, replays were conclusive.
