ICC Women’s World T20: India thrash Australia by 48 runs, top Group B

India sent out a warning to their rivals at the Women's World Twenty20 with a 48-run thrashing of record three-time winners Australia in Guyana on Saturday. Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur starred with the bat as the Indians racked up 167-8 batting first, before restricting Australia to 119-9 as wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy suffered concussion and could not bat. India, last year's World Cup runners-up, topped Group B after four straight wins and will face either England or reigning champions and hosts West Indies in the semi-finals.
