    We often talk about what you would want to chase in the last over and you don't want to be chasing any more than 14 in a women's game. They have to get it to a run a ball.

    Two more boundaries here and it's a run a ball. I honestly don't know where this game is going.

    India need boundaries, they're not going to win by hitting the ball into the leg side for one.

  10. Ind 146-6published at 17.2 overs

    India need 27 from 16 balls

    A wide delivery from Megan Schutt. They all help.

    Run, run! India turn down a two. Deepti Sharma is hobbling. Is she injured?

  13. Ind 141-6published at 17 overs

    India need 31 from 18 balls

    Three overs to go. Australia never lose. Surely they have this one in the bag?

    If Deepti Sharma is not going to be able to push for two she will have to start swinging.

  16. Ind 141-6published at 16.4 overs

    India need 32 from 20 balls

    Brilliant from Sharma who pulls Ash Gardner for four. India are still in it.

    Australia know that's the wicket they needed and the pressure is on the tailenders.

    The pressure builds on India with a series of dots and Richa Ghosh tries to release it with a six. It's high, oh so high, but does it have the distance?

    No! Tahlia McGrath takes it on the ropes. Australia believe.
