Australia Beat Pakistan by 113 Runs to Stay Unbeaten

The win leaves Australia effectively assured of a semi-final spot; a victory over India at Lord's would mathematically confirm their place.

Overview

  • Australia posted 199-7 and bowled Pakistan out for 86 in a 113-run victory at Headingley on Tuesday, extending their unbeaten run to four wins.
  • Ellyse Perry led the match with an all-round display, scoring 71 off 48 balls and taking 2-9 to earn Player of the Match honours.
  • The result puts Australia top of Group A with eight points and a dominant net run rate, while Pakistan have been eliminated after losing all four group matches.
  • New Zealand beat Scotland by six wickets in Bristol to eliminate Scotland and keep New Zealand's slim semi-final hopes alive.
  • Australia's victory comes with a developing concern over wicketkeeper Beth Mooney's hand injury and highlights the tournament's tight qualification math where net run rate and margin of victory matter.
