• West Indies limp out after struggling with illness

Australia sailed through to the T20 World Cup final, beating a hapless West Indies by eight wickets with seven overs to spare.

Mooney struck her second half-century of the tournament, while Gardner was equally aggressive in an innings of 35 from 20 balls.
