Mumbai, Feb 13:
Underdogs West Indies stunned five-time champions Australia by eight runs in a thrilling low-scoring Super Six stage match to storm into the final of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup against the same opponents at the MIG Club ground here today.
Needing to win the match to qualify for the February 17 final at the Brabourne Stadium, the Windies women defended their modest total of 164 with plenty of zeal and pluck to snatch victory with eight balls to spare. West Indies’ first-ever win over Australia in ODIs also rendered today’s other Super Six game between defending champions England and New Zealand at the Brabourne into an academic affair as irrespective of whoever wins that game, they will have to fight again for the third place play-off on February 15.(PTI)
