India vs Australia Highlights: Ton-up Jemimah Rodrigues takes IND to final with a historic run-chase against AUS

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: How about that shot! Already takes her straight down the ground for a big six, and Dinesh Karthik on air predicts the big reverse sweep is coming. And it's a full switch, goes right handed, and it's essentialyl a right-hander's slog sweep over midwicket. That's huge!

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Phoebe Litchfield has just been itching for the chance to establish herself as Australia's next great batter, and this might be the moment she gets there. Her maiden World Cup ton, and it has been brought up in just 77 deliveries. Her second ton against India, who she loves playing against. Just a sensational innings.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Australia in total total control at the minute and Litchfield one hit away from her century…

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: The bowlers are really struggling to contain Litchfield, who is just picking up boundaries at will now. Quick time for the 100 partnership.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: First Perry then Litchfield step down the ground and hit sixes against the two Indian spinners. A ball later, Litchfield reverse sweeps, and India appeal, and it is given on-field! But during an umpire review, it becomes pretty clear it was a bump ball off her bat before it floated to short third.

She's now batting on 62*.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Really good platform to this innings from Litchfield, who has looked to attack and put the pressure back on the bowling team. Nice use of the feet to hit a four straight back down the ground to bring up 50.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Good over from Sree Charani who comes on and does very well to slow down Litchfield with some well-flighted bowling. Just a single off that over. Spin will be key, certainly.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Kranti Gaud has had a really poor last couple of overs. Strays on the pads, then bowls a juicy full toss, then short and wide to be put away. Perry hasn't been amongst the runs but that's too easy for a player of her calibre.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Not great in the field from India. A dropped catch, two or three misfields, and even an overthrow for four. Kranti Gaud losing her radar against Litchfield and gets punished for 14 runs off her first two legal deliveries of this over with 5 wides. Aussies bring up 50.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Ooh, finger goes up but that certainly looked to be sliding down leg. The umpire was quick to give that out, but Perry equally quick to go for the review. Cmfortably missing.

Next ball, Perry nearly chops on as well! Picks up 4 instead.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Very brief break for that passing drizzle. Gaud gets Perry started with an absolute beauty that shapes away and very nearly catches the edge.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Got the wicket! Healy can't make the most of her reprieve. There was a brief pause in play to have the floodlights turn on as the skies got dark, and it has done the trick. Fast and at a good length, holds its line and chopped on by Healy, who didn't move her feet.

And as she walks off, the covers come on as the rain begins in Navi Mumbai. The Aussie captain won't be happy.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Litchfield just dealing in boundaries at the minute. Dances down again, Kranti tries to dig it in short, but she reacts and swivels to pull it towards vacant fine leg for four.

India won't be happy with this start. A little loose all around.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Not the note India wanted to start on! Healy tries to loft but just slices it towards mid-off, where Harmanpreet makes the distance, gets two hands to it, but just shells it!

Healy scored 142 last time out vs India. Not great. Litchfield meanwhile keeps finding the fence.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Great shot. She averages over 60 against India, and that's a top shot. Takes two steps down and makes the ball a half-volley, and places it through the gap at cover.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Renuka Singh Thakur with the first over. Sprays a couple of wides, but quickly readjusts. Plenty of movement early on, as is expected.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: A smile on Harmanpreet Kaur's face as she sings the anthem. You can see what this opportunity on home soil means to this team. Can they make it count? We find out very soon.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: We have come this far keeping an eye off how truly important this match is, but let us not play it down. South Africa await their own chance at glory in the final after Laura Wolvaardt led them to a thumping win over England. Will it be two teams hunting for their first World Cup trophy, or will it be South Africa looking to upset the 7-time champions?

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: With Alyssa Healy returning, Australia back to their settled XI. Molineux comes back in as well.

Australia playing XI: Alyssa Healy (wk & c), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Annabel Sutherland, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Alyssa Healy is back, and explains that she's feeling healthy and ready to go. She comes in for Voll, and Wareham misses out for Molineux as expected.

Harman explains she also wanted to bat first on this surface.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: Ian Bishop with the pitch report states that it is a hard wicket with not much grass covering and just a little bit of cracking on the surface. However, he mentions that the earlier sheen on top from earlier on the pitch is gone, which means less swing through the air and maybe just a little bit more in it for the spinners.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: The weather has meant it has been tough to get full matches in Navi Mumbai. One of the few completed games was India's demolition of New Zealand, which might prompt Harmanpreet Kaur to try and bat first again and gets runs on the board in a pressure game. Equally, that is something Australia were okay with in Vizag: would India's bowlers be better served trying to keep things quiet in the first half of the day? Very intriguing decision to be made at the toss.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: A freak injury in a dead rubber of a game – it really couldn't have been worse, as far as accidents for India go. Pratika Rawal was in top form, scoring 308 runs in this tournament and averaging over 50. Suddenly, she is out, and her opening equation with Mandhana is suddenly unsettled. India's strength is suddenly a big question mark, and the pressure is now on Shafali Verma to come in out of the blue and fill that role.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: India put up 330 in the league stage encounter between these two teams, but might honestly feel like they left 20-25 runs on the table with a poor showing after the 40th over. Then in response, they weren't able to take full advantage of their chances by turning the screw on Australia after they managed wickets. This wasn't an Australia-only problem and popped up against South Africa and England as well, which is something that they can no longer afford to go wrong.

India-W vs Australia-W LIVE Updates, World Cup Semi-final: As expected, Australia were thoroughly dominant throughout the group stage. They never really looked in danger of losing any match except arguably the one against India in Vizag, and it was business as usual with someone or the other stepping up. Almost everyone has contributed, and even the players who haven't are blessed with such talent it would be foolish to rule them out. 6 wins in this tournament already – who can deal them a first loss?
