Australia easily beats India and sends South Africa into the Women's T20
semifinals
LONDON (AP) --- Australia produced a statement group-closing win that
eliminated India and advanced South Africa into the semifinals of the Women's
Twenty20 World Cup on Sunday.
Australia looked primed for a seventh crown in 10 World Cups after blowing away
India by six wickets with an over to spare at a packed Lord's.
India had to win to overtake South Africa for the last semifinal spot.
But half-centuries by Ellyse Perry and Ash Gardner in a 100-run partnership off
59 balls powered Australia to victory in front of an India-heavy crowd of
27,163, a second record attendance for a World Cup group match in 24 hours.
On the same pitch earlier, South Africa labored past Bangladesh by four wickets
and waited for India's fate.
In the semifinals, Australia will play the West Indies and England will face
South Africa, both at The Oval.
