Rodrigues c Carey b Jonassen 0 (Ind 8-2)
Jemimah Rodrigues in at four - and with the required rate already climbing, she tries to hit her first ball over mid-on and is well caught by Nicola Carey.
This game is threatening to be very one-sided.

The thing I noticed about that was the pop off the wicket. We didn't see the India bowlers doing that.
Bhatia retired hurt 2 (Ind 5-1)
And Taniya Bhatia's not going to be able to continue. Hope it's not too serious, she came off holding her neck.
Target 185
Bhatia knocks Jonassen for a quick single, Mandhana - who's no slouch herself in the big-hitting stakes, as anyone who saw her play for Western Storm in the KSL in England will testify - steers one to mid-wicket.
Bhatia is then hit on the helmet grille as she tries to sweep the spinner - and that means a visit from the physio.

Meg Lanning is going to use her senior bowlers up front; get that run-rate up even higher and then it's pretty much job done.
With no Ellyse Perry to share the new ball, Australia turn to Jess Jonassen's left-arm spin.

Ind 3-1
Keeper Taniya Bhatia in at three - and she nearly holes out off her second ball, it drops a yard short of the diving Jess Jonassen as she runs round from mid-off.
The left-handed Smriti Mandhana plays her first ball straight to Delissa Kimmince at point. Great first over from Schutt.

What a piece of bowling, and what a superb catch behind the stumps. Australia know how important that wicket is.
Verma c Healy b Schutt 2 (Ind 2-1)
Gone! Huge, huge wicket. Schutt gets a bit of bounce, finds Verma's edge and keeper Alyssa Healy snaffles it, standing up to the stumps! Verma stalks off, slamming her bat down a couple of times in frustration.
Australia celebrate like they've just won the World Cup. Which they just might have done.
Target 185
Shafali Verma hits Schuitt's fist ball over her head - it looks like it's going for a first-bounce four, but the ball plugs and the fielders just retrieve it in time.
Megan Schutt to bowl from the Great Southern Stand end.
Destiny awaits.

If India get away in the powerplay, they've got a chance. Hopefully India have had a chat with Shafali Verma, who looked sad and a little dejected in the outfield after dropping Alyssa Healy early in her innings.
Australia's fielders run out. Time for India's precocious 16-year-old opener Shafali Verma to take the stage, accompanied by Smriti Mandhana.
If Verma can go big for 10 overs, we might just have a game on our hands.

This is everything and more Australia and Meg Lanning could have wished for with the bat.
If you're just joining us, India are going to have to score 185 to prevent Australia taking their fifth Women's T20 World Cup from seven attempts - having won in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2018.
Only England (2009) and West Indies (2016) have won it otherwise.
Unlike the semi-final where they went through against England, I'm afraid the rain isn't going to help India here. It's a balmy, sunny day.
But what about another way of settling a rained-off game (rather than a bowl-out in the indoor nets)... both teams have a dance-off?
The ICC has, after all, dubbed this tournament "the big dance". Take it away Thailand, West Indies and South Africa!

hypocaust: Beth Mooney (259) has broken Meg Lanning's record (257 in 2014) for most runs at a single edition of the Women's T20 World Cup.
It's the highest total in a T20 World Cup final, & highest women's T20 total at the MCG.

David: On paper, I'd say India has the batting power to do this. But they're up against their own lack of experience and ruthless Australian confidence.
