Pitch Report

: It is a whole new experience for Australia to play over here. There is a difference of 6m between the shorter and the longer boundary. 63m to the longer side. 57m to the shorter side. The breeze is blowing from the longer side but it tends to swirl up in the stadium. So the fielders will have to do well to hold on to their catches. There is an even covering of grass, but the grass is brown. It would be flat. But the new ball would swing up front.

Commentary

That's it for this game, folks. Australia have marched onto the semi-finals but ahead of their all-important game against India, they have lost two big players to injuries. The seriousness is yet to be determined for both but it didn't look good. Meanwhile, Pakistan, they would know they were outplayed by a massively superior team amid absences of their own. And those were some tough words from Muneeba. Perhaps they'd be able to put up a much better show in their last remaining league game against New Zealand. For now, it's the pair of Rudransh and Darpan signing off for Sportskeeda!

Tahlia McGrath (standing in for Australia captain, Alyssa Healy): Not a lot of update (On Healy) -- calf, assess the damage. Heartbroken for the two girls. She (Tayla Vlaeminck)'s on the green whistle (smiles). She's a different character. But heartbroken for her too. She has suffered a lot of injuries in her career already. We love Tay and it was really hard to watch. It's just about getting together as the group. It was a chasing first kind of conditions. Schutt has been setting up the games for us. Big meeting tomorrow about the stats and conditions of the venue. The thing about this Australian side is the depth we have got, even from captaincy point of view, so it's time to use it.

Muneeba Ali (Pakistan captain): It's been challenging. But as professionals, we are very much aware of the magnitude of the game. We were not up to the mark with batting. That's not how you approach a T20 game. It was really embarrassing. Everyone in the batting department needs to step up. The belief should have been there. After being the vice-captain for a while, it was a good opportunity for me to learn as well. We are here to play and win, everybody needs to step up. That's the reality and we need to face it.

Stick around for the post-match presentation...

Ashleigh Gardner [Australia, Player of the Match]: It was nice conditions. Bit more bounce than Sharjah. A bit more spin as well so it was handy. Overall, a clinical performance. Everybody who got the ball did their job. (On Vlaeminck's injury in the first over) It is never nice to see a mate of yours go down like that in the first over itself. Tayla has worked hard to get here. So it was hard to see her going down. I have been working hard. Looking forward to the next challenge against India. We have had some good battles against them over the years. I think the best thing about this team is the depth. We are all very clear in our roles. We might not get time out in the middle but that's credit to our top order.

Australia win by nine wickets (with 54 balls remaining)!

Aliya Riaz 26 (32) | Sadia Iqbal (1/17)
Alyssa Healy 37*(23) | Ashleigh Gardner (4/21)

Complete domination from Australia. They take all the points and qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup semi-final. Their unbeaten streak against Pakistan and in this tournament since 2020 continues. They look so, so dominant that even though it was far from their best game.

Healy and Mooney got off to a quick start, hitting six boundaries (two more than Pakistan's entire innings) in the first three overs. Mooney played one shot too many and got caught at mid-off. Healy and Perry built on toward the target without much trouble. If someone was doubtful before, Pakistan certainly missed Fatima again in the second innings.

They looked like they'd finish things off but Healy picked up an unfortunate injury while running and had to walk off the ground with help from the physio. Perry held things together though and she and Gardner didn't take much long to kill the game, meaning Pakistan only picked one wicket.

Tuba Hassan

0 /11

10.6 Tuba Hassan to Ellyse Perry, there is the winning run. Perry steps down the track and chips it over to long-off. They run through and achieve the target with 9 complete overs to spare. Australia are in the semifinals!

10.5 Tuba Hassan to Ellyse Perry, flat, length ball, outside off. The batter rocks back and hits it straight to extra cover.

10.4 Tuba Hassan to Ashleigh Gardner, another short-ish ball. The batter pulls it straight to deep midwicket. Scores are level.

10.3 Tuba Hassan to Ashleigh Gardner, FOUR!! Yet another long-hop from the bowler. It stayed a bit low but Gardner was able to muscle it over towards the square leg boundary.

10.2 Tuba Hassan to Ellyse Perry, similar delivery. Perry shapes up for the same shot, but rolls her wrist over early. The ball bounces off the back of her bat, over the keeper.

10.1 Tuba Hassan to Ellyse Perry, FOUR!! Half-tracker, down the leg side. Perry rocks back and pulls it towards the fine leg boundary.

11 off 60 needed.

Drinks! Massive injury blow to Australia. Healy has had calf troubles before and given how short this tournament is, even a small time away from the game is enough to make her miss the most important games. Australia have a lot of depth but nature is testing them to the tilt as of now.

9.6 Syeda Aroob Shah to Ashleigh Gardner, full, at the middle and off. Gardner gets on the front foot and pushes it towards extra cover. No runs to be had.

9.5 Syeda Aroob Shah to Ashleigh Gardner, flat, full, outside off. Gardner goes back to a ball she should have been forward to. Gets an under edge and it trickles back to the bowler.

9.4 Syeda Aroob Shah to Ashleigh Gardner, flighted, fuller, at the leg stump. Gardner flicks it towards long leg and runs two.

9.3 Syeda Aroob Shah to Ellyse Perry, flatter, similar length, a bit wider. The batter works it towards extra cover and runs one.
