India face England in the final on Sunday

India beat Australia to enter final

India beat Australia by 36 runs to set up summit clash with hosts England on Sunday. Chasing a massive 282-run target in a rain-curtailed 42-overs-a-side, Australia were bowled out for 245 in 40.1 overs as India registered a comprehensive win. Alex Blackwell (90 off 56 balls) and Elyse Villani (75 off 58 balls) hit quick-fire fifties but the target turned out to be too much for the defending champions. Deepti Sharma (3/59) took three wickets while pacers Jhulan Goswami (2/35) and Shikha Pandey (2/17) scalped two wickets each for India. Earlier, riding on Harmanpreet Kaur's majestic 171 not out India posted 281/4 in their 42 overs. Kaur smacked as many as seven sixes and 20 fours in her career-best 115-ball knock, which turned out to be a match-winning effort.

Trivia: Mithali Raj scored a century on ODI debut - at 16 years of age!

50 up for India

The Indian score has gone past the 50-run mark. Captain Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur are currently steering the ship.

After 12 overs, India 41-2

Indian openers showed intent but faded quickly. Both departed within the first 10 overs after showing early promise. Both big wickets - rising star Smriti Mandhana and Punam Raut who hit a century last time these two teams faced each other.

OUT! Punam Raut, who was looking good, plays one shot too many, hitting one from Gardner straight into the hands of deep fielder to depart for 14. India 35-2

Clearly a mental thing with Smriti Mandhana."What if I get out, playing this shot?".A seed of doubt an attacking player cannot have.#WWC17

— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) July 20, 2017

A watchful start, Punam Raut calms nerves with two fours

The pair of Megan Schutt and Ellyse Perry kept the Punam Raut and captain Mithali Raj quiet before the former decided broke the shackles with two fours off Schutt. India 21-1 after 5 overs

Master sends his wishes

#WomenInBlue, we believe in you and we're with you! Good luck! #AUSvIND #WWC17 pic.twitter.com/NCFr92cKqZ

Smriti Mandhana's scores this World Cup (latest first): 6, 13, 3, 4, 8, 2, 106*, 90

Smriti Mandhana caught for 6

Mandhana started well, with a four off the second ball she faced and a couple later. But a leading edge ended her stay at the crease as she was caught for 6 off Megan Schutt. India 6-1 after 1 over
