    Monday's match is between South Africa and Bangladesh in Visakhapatnam. The Proteas could really apply the pressure to India if they win.

    We'll have commentary of that as ever.

    I want to believe England can beat anyone but they are toast against either of these teams. What a total to set and what a total to chase down. Such a great game to watch today!

  3. 'We needed 40 or 50 more runs'published at 18:22 BST 12 October

    Indian captain Harmanpret Kaur after the loss: "I think we needed 40 or 50 more runs. We knew it was a good batting wicket, and not being able to capitalise towards the end is what really cost us."

    On the opening batters: "They (Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana) have been outstanding for us, and they have been giving us very good starts. I think we did well, but the last five overs are what cost us. The last three games, we were not able to bat well in the middle order, and the lower order took the responsibility. But today, the first 40 overs were good, and the lower batting order wasn't good. These things happen in games, and it depends on how we bounce back."

    On Sree Charani's performance: "She has been outstanding and has always been there when we needed. We have a lot of hope from here, and whenever she is there, she can keep giving us breakthroughs."

    On sticking with five-bowler strategy: "We will sit and discuss on having five bowlers as they have given us a lot of success in the past, and two bad games are not going to change that."

  4. 'New territory for us'published at 18:20 BST 12 October

    Australia captain Alyssa Healy: "A great result. We will take those two points. To chase 330 is new territory so I am glad we have the confidence to do that now. Hopefully we don't have to do it again but if we do we know we can do it.

    "Our top order felt like we needed to contribute more. The opportunity for us, knowing we had to chase, getting off to a good start was crucial. It takes a lot of pressure off me with Phoebe Litchfield at the other end doing what she does."

    On Annabel Sutherland's five wickets: "She was probably the pick of our bowlers from a length perspective. We tossed up bit of junk but the way we pegged them back in the last 10 will give us great confidence."

    That victory puts Australia top of the standings, albeit having played one game more than England.

    India are third with two wins and two defeats. They play England in their next game.

    India captain Harmanpreet Kaur says it was the final six overs of her side's batting innings that cost them.

  7. 'I was trying to lock in for a big day'published at 18:13 BST 12 October

    Player of the match Alyssa Healy said: "Really proud of the group to pull ourselves over the line there. I kept preaching the depth we have got in our line-up, but full credit to our bowlers as well, who pulled it back as we could have been chasing 360 plus.

    "I was trying to lock in for a big day, and to be out there and contribute heavily is great, but I would have been delighted to see it out but the girls did a great job.

    "Sree Charani bowled really well tonight, and I think that's what we haven't done enough, which was to identify the threat and limit the damage, and the girls did that brilliantly well."

    This has been, without doubt, the match of the World Cup so far. Sometimes in World Cups, a big match often disappoints, but not this one. Having watched that, these two teams are the teams to beat in this tournament.

    The game of the World Cup? Possibly the game of any World Cup. That was thrilling entertainment from start to finish.

    Where was it won and lost? Of course Alyssa Healy played one of the great knocks. India, though, scored only 36 runs from the last 37 balls of their innings and lost six wickets.

    Australia were made to work for it tonight, and they got over the line, but take nothing away from the Indian effort. Contributions from all the players, but they were a couple of runs short.

    Where on earth did that shot come from? Ellyse Perry has not been playing like that at all. A phenomenal shot to get Australia over the line.

    And Ellyse Perry wins it with a six slammed down the ground!

    Australia have pulled off the highest chase in women's ODI history. They are NEVER beaten.

    Australia are a hit away now.

    Six to win. Perry on strike...

    Two more singles. Perry was eyeing the boundary there.

    Really important stroke there from Kim Garth and executed it so well. It was always going to go for a four. India could do with a wicket here.

  18. Aus 322-7published at 48.2 overs

    This is a sensational shot! Kim Garth with a reverse sweep for four to reduce the equation to nine needed from 10.

    Another dot. Sneh Rana is bowling the penultimate.

    In cricket, the penultimate over is usually the big over. Australia will have an understanding of how much they need in the final over, and with 13 required from 12, they will be looking to get it down to less than eight for the final over.
