IND Women vs AUS Women, 1st Semi-Final at Gros Islet,, May 13 2010 - Match Result

So, an emphatic performance from Australia. A disciplined bowling display was followed by a rapid half-century from their captain, Alex Blackwell, and Leah Poulton put the match out of reach with 30 not out from 26 balls.

Australia lost out to England in the semi-finals last year, but they've booked their place in the final this time. India, for the second year running, are thwarted in the last four.

"We were 10-15 runs short," says Jhulan Goswami. "Our batters didn't capitalise in the first six overs, and it was difficult to come back. It's disappointing, but we'll take the positives, go back home, and start again from the bottom."

Alex Blackwell, Australia's captain, is named as Player of the Match. "We've really enjoyed playing here in the Caribbean and we're really looking forward to playing in the final," she says. "We've been bowling and fielding well all tournament, but we learnt against England, chasing 105, that anything can happen."

So, that's it from here. We've been Binoy George and Andrew Miller, with Peter English on drums. Join us again tomorrow, same time, same place, for New Zealand v West Indies in the second semi-final.
