Australia wrapped up a six-wicket win over India at Lord's, posting 170‑4 and chasing the target with an over to spare. The victory crowns them top of Group 1 and books a semi‑final clash with the West Indies at The Oval on Tuesday.

Ellyse Perry anchored the chase with 56 from 38 balls, while Ashleigh Gardner contributed an unbeaten 53. A 100‑run partnership steadied Australia after Georgia Voll fell early, and Georgia Wareham struck the winning boundary. Harmanpreet Kaur’s 56, featuring three sixes, could not prevent India’s exit despite their highest ever total against Australia in the tournament.

South Africa’s win over Bangladesh secured the second group spot, setting up an England‑South Africa semi later in the week. Australia remain unbeaten in the group stage and now focus on a title bid, having earned a place in the tournament’s decisive knockout round.
