Australia enter final of ICC Women’s World Cup

Mumbai, Feb 10:
Five-time champions Australia have entered the final of the ICC Women’s World Cup after thrashing Sri Lanka by nine wickets in their second Super Six match at the Brabourne Stadium here today.
In reply to Sri Lanka’s paltry 131, Australia chased down the target in just 22.2 overs. This was Australia’s fifth successive victory in the tournament.
In contrast to the Sri Lankans, who took 206 deliveries to reach the three-digit mark, Australia scored at slightly faster pace than run-a-ball to get to 100 in only 96 balls.
Openers Meg Lanning and Rachael Haynes provided a solid platform as the duo stitched a 55-run partnership. (UNI)
