11.6 Dottin to Villani, OUT
Not very joyous faces but it is something for WI to cling to. A slowish delivery on middle, holds up in the pitch just enough for Villani to play too early, a thick leading edge lobs upto Taylor who takes it over her head. A good catch.

1.6 Matthews to Healy, OUT
The third umpire is called to take a look at the bump ball. Clearly hasn’t pitched and Healy is gone. A very full delivery on off, Healy shimmies down to convert it into a full toss again but just like Yuvraj’s dismissal earlier in the tournament, the ball lobs back to the bowler right off the toe-end.
Over 1: 7 runs off the over. Aus 7/0
