SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) — India captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s unbeaten half-century wasn’t quite enough as defending champion Australia took four wickets in the last over of the match to win by nine runs at the Women’s T20 World Cup. India finished at 142-9 in 20 overs in reply to Australia’s 151-8. Australia advanced from Group A to the semifinals with the win. India’s fate now depends on the outcome of the New Zealand versus Pakistan game on Monday. Maia Bouchier smashed 62 not out off 34 balls as England beat Scotland by 10 wickets in their Group B clash. England moved to the top of the group with three successive wins in as many games.
