With India needing to topple Australia to advance to the semi-finals, Harmanpreet Kaur's 27-ball 56 powered her team to 4-170, leaving their rivals needing to pull off the highest chase in the tournament's history.

Australia dump India out of Women’s T20 World Cup with record chase
It was the quintessential Australian performance. They had no need for a win in their fifth and last group game, having already qualified for a Womenâs T20 World Cup semi-final by winning their first four. India, conversely, desperately needed one to qualify. And it looked as if they had it, after a late surge with the bat to reach 170, then an early squeeze to have Australia needing 86 from eight overs.
Then in a trice it was gone, as an accelerating century stand from Ellyse Perry and Ash Gardner squashed the world-record chase with an over and six wickets to spare. Ruthless, nerveless, pitiless.
