Australia booked their place in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup final with an emphatic eight-wicket victory over West Indies at The Oval. After winning the toss and electing to bowl, Australia watched West Indies collapse dramatically from 47-0 to 83-6, with Georgia Wareham's 2-17 triggering the slide that derailed the Caribbean side's innings.

Deandra Dottin, who was reportedly dealing with a pre-match medical issue, rescued West Indies with an unbeaten 26 alongside Jannillea Glasgow's 15 in a 42-run partnership. Their efforts lifted the total to 125-7, though it proved insufficient against Australia's batting lineup. Beth Mooney anchored the chase with a 36-ball half-century, her 30th in T20 internationals, while Ash Gardner followed up her 2-13 bowling figures with 35 not out from 20 deliveries.

The six-time champions comfortably reached their target with seven overs remaining, showcasing their experience in high-pressure matches. Australia's clinical performance sends them to Lord's for Sunday's final, where they will face either England or South Africa.

Thursday's second semi-final between England and South Africa at The Oval will determine Australia's opponents, with both teams eager to challenge the defending champions' dominance.
