Australia defeat India by six wickets in a Women’s T20 World Cup group match, knocking India out of the tournament despite an aggressive innings by Harmanpreet Kaur. India post 170/4 after a rapid start, with Kaur scoring 56 off 27 balls. India’s innings is anchored by that late acceleration, but Australia’s chase is controlled by a match-winning partnership between Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner. Perry and Gardner combine for a century stand—Perry scoring 56 and Gardner finishing 53 not out—guiding Australia to the target. The win ensures Australia advance to the semifinals, and it also confirms group standings in which South Africa joins Australia in qualifying from the same group. From another group, England and the West Indies also progress to the semifinals, as reported alongside the result. Overall, while India’s batting includes a high-impact burst from Kaur, Australia’s middle-overs and finishing from Gardner allow them to pass 170 comfortably and secure the six-wicket victory.
