Australia scored 7-199 and bowled Pakistan out for 86 to win by 113 runs at Headingley in the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup. The total was built around a 56-ball century stand between Ellyse Perry and Georgia Voll. Perry finished with 71 off 48 balls, including nine fours and one six.
Match summary Pakistan lost three wickets in the power play and never recovered.
Two run-outs and a middle-order collapse left the side at 8-75 before finishing at 86 with 38 balls unused. Australia used eight bowlers. Perry, Sophie Molineux and Annabel Sutherland each took two wickets.
Injury concern Australia’s only reported issue was a hand injury to wicketkeeper Beth Mooney. She was struck on the finger while standing up and aggravated the injury attempting a catch. Australia’s final group match is scheduled for Sunday against India at Lord’s. A win would secure top spot in the group and two extra rest days before the semi-finals.
