Australia dodge WI to enter Women\\\'s final

Thursday, 3 April 2014


Australia Women survived a Deandra Dottin-led late charge from West Indies Women to keep their chances of completing a hat-trick of World T20 titles with a tight win in the first semi-final at Mirpur in Dhaka on Thursday. Dottin, in the company of Stacy-Ann King, kept West Indies interested in the chase of 141 with a 78-run stand that came in 8.4 overs, but her dismissal in the penultimate over continued her team's trend of sliding against Australia in a World Cup knockout match. West Indies had been stung by Australia in the final of the ODI World Cup last year and in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka before that, according to espncricinfo.com.
Score:
Australia 140 for 5 (Villani 35, Healy 30*, Anisa 2-24)
West Indies 132 for 4 (Dottin 40, King 36*, Osborne 1-18)
