50 FOR ANNEKE BOSCH! What a time to do it - in a World Cup semifinal, against the World Champions! This has been an innings of character. Tossed up ball, outside off, Anneke Bosch gets down on a knee and drives it through the covers. The fielder dives and takes some pace off the ball, getting a hand on it. The batters return for the second. Can Bosch stay unbeaten till the end?

Tahlia McGrath brings herself on as the last throw of the dice. If there is a gamble that is. Australia are getting sucked in a mire here. Short ball, down the leg side, Laura Wolvaardt pulls it behind square leg for a single.

A length ball now, Bosch pulls it through mid-wicket for a run.

A slower ball, around middle, Wolvaardt gives herself room and hits it off the inner half of the bat through mid on. Short mid-wicket dives to her left to intercept, but can only get a hand and parries it to long on. A run taken.

WIDE. Down the leg side, Anneke looks to sweep but misses.

Dropped short, around middle, AB swivels and pulls behind square leg for one.

ANOTHER WIDE. Slower ball, but down the leg side. Wolvaardt looks to pull but is way too early into the shot and misses.

A short ball, outside off, Laura swings it towards deep mid-wicket for another single.

On a good length, around off, AB taps it towards mid on and takes a very tight single. The fielder misses her shy at the stumps at the bowler's end. Direct hit could have been interesting. 19 needed from 36 balls.

Annabel Sutherland returns. Starts her third over with an off cutter outside off, Anneke Bosch rocks back and punches it through the covers. Phoebe Litchfield slides to her left and makes a good stop. She picks the ball, gets up and throws the ball at the bowler's end, missing the stumps. Direct hit would have had Bosch.

Short and outside off, Anneke cuts it towards deep point for one more.

OUT! CAUGHT. It is Sutherland again to pick up a wicket to ensure that Australia at least get two scalps in this drubbing. A slower ball, on a length, outside off. Laura Wolvaardt stays leg side of the ball and tries to hit it over the infield but is beaten by the lack of pace. The ball hits the toe end of the bat and Tahlia McGrath takes an easy catch at mid off. End of a match-winning stand of 96 as Laura Wolvaardt departs for 42 (37).

Full and around middle, the arm ball, Chloe Tryon drives it straight to mid off.

Megan Schutt to bowl her final over of the World Cup. A slower ball, outside off, Anneke Bosch gives herself a tiny bit of room to the leg side and cuts but finds point.
