  1. WI 91-6

    Another tidy over from Ash Gardner, who finishes with figures of 2-13 from her four overs.

    What a performer she is for Australia.

  2. How's stat?!

    Georgia Wareham now has 26 wickets in T20 World Cups. Since she made her first appearance in the competition (November 2018) only two Australians - Schutt and Gardner - have more in the competition.

  3. WI 84-6

    Four overs left of this West Indies innings.

    What can they get to?

  5. WI 83-6

    So, Deandra Dottin is in at number eight.

    It's a positive sign that she's able to bat after that earlier injury scare.

    Georgia Wareham just has that knack of taking wickets. She bowls so accurately with a mix of pace. Shemaine Campbelle made a good choice there but she rushed it.

    WICKET

    Campbelle c Perry b Wareham 22 (WI 83-6)

    Shemaine Champbelle picks up four with a nice hit over mid-off, but she falls trying to repeat the shot.

    It's straight to Ellyse Perry and she doesn't drop them.

    Australia are a proficient, well-oiled winning machine of epic proportions! The depth of talent and fear factor attached to playing them can make even the best sides look ordinary, as we are seeing with a West Indies side that are no mugs themselves usually. Ellyse Perry is different class.

  9. WI 79-5

    West Indies have been really poor today, but Australia have been equally good.

    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I thought this game was done in about the fourth over and it's continued on like I thought it might unfortunately.

  11. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at The Oval

    Deandra Dottin has just walked down the steps from the dressing room to the dugout. She looks to be preparing to bat.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Henry c Sutherland b Molineux 10 (WI 73-5)

    Another one.

    Chinelle Henry tries to launch Sophie Molineux down the ground, but only picks out Annabel Sutherland.

    Jannillea Glasgow is the new batter.

    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    Australia are taking their time and getting everything spot on, even though they're way ahead in this game.

    They'll know they have to be clinical.

    Has Katherine Sciver-Brunt reassessed her thinking that West Indies will win this?

  15. WI 73-4

    HenryGetty Images

    At their current run rate, West Indies will get to 104 from their 20 overs.

    Stating the obvious, but that's not good enough against Australia.

    The crowds probably aren't helped by the fact that no one knew which semi-final their team would be in until after India played Australia at the very end of the group stage.

    West Indies have got the players to do it, but they never seem to be on it at the same time. They never put together a complete performance.

  18. WI 70-4

    A rare boundary as Chinelle Henry cuts Annabel Sutherland behind point for four.

  19. It does seem odd to see so many empty seats for a semi-final, Chris.

    Utterly absurd that the time of this match was scheduled based on television audiences in one specific country, to the detriment of the players and fans in the country where the game is being played. How is one country allowed to have such unregulated power over an entire sport?
