Ghosh is going to continue to play her shots - lifting the ball over the leg side but it falls safely. Pandey virtually repeats the same shot.

India need 93 from 18 balls. They will, very soon, require snookers.

Tonight has shown to me how Australia are reaping the rewards of putting so much money into women's cricket. I just hope other countries follow suit.

Shikha Pandey joins Ghosh at the crease, and the 16-year-old does well to tap a quick single and dive full-length to move to 13 from 15 balls. Pandey is off the mark with a single.

That's a brilliant catch by Mooney. She can't put a foot wrong today.

It's a strange atmosphere around the MCG, with the result now a foregone conclusion - the DJ tries to wow the crowd with some tunes between overs. Jess Jonassen keeps it tight, she has 2-18 from three overs of left-arm spin.

India need a theoretical 97 from 24 balls.

The crowd's enthusiam hasn't been dampened despite the contest fizzling out.

Fans around the ground hold up their mobile phones to create a bit of a light show around the MCG - Deepti Sharma forces the ball just over three pursuing cover fielders, while concussion sub Richa Ghosh is playing a mature innings.

This India batting collapse shows how reliant they are on their top three.

Delissa Kimmince returns at the Great Southern Stand End - while the camera picks out two legends of the game, ex-England skipper Charlotte Edwards and current New Zealand superstar Suzie Bates who are watching from the stands.

Knowing the game has well and truly gone, India help themselves to five singles. They need 104 from 30 balls.

With five overs left, the trophy engraver can start work.

Australia have been clinical. It's a shame it's not been a better game of cricket, but Australia have been so good to watch.

Catching up with the wickets, here's how it ended for Veda Krishnamurthy:

Australia are cutting off every run they can; they are enjoying themselves out there. They can enjoy the last six overs knowing they are going to win another World Cup.

Deepti Sharma has rather dawdled in this innings - and even when she does target the long-off boundary, Jess Jonassen stretches every sinew to cut off the four and restrict India for two.

Sharma gives the India fans a brief moment to cheer as she swipes a four off the edge over the vacant slip cordon - a single takes her to 25 from 27 balls.

India need an increasingly unlikely 109 from 36 balls.

Ind 69-5published at 13.3 overs

Target 185

Australia's bowlers continue to operate in one-over spells, but there's a steely stare on Meg Lanning's face - she will continue to remorselessly press for victory.

Richa Ghosh is struck on the body as she tries to pull Carey to leg - hopefully India won't need to replace her replacement? She seems fine - moving to eight from nine balls.

Sophie Molineux has bowled well, she finishes her four-over spell with 1-21 as Ghosh tries to repeat her boundary shot from earlier, but Schutt cuts it off and they run two.

India need 118 more from 42 balls. Any India fans looking for some blind optimism... I'm afraid it's not going to happen.

This.

Now, that's not a bad way to get your innings under way - Richa Ghosh lofts a four over mid-off!
