Australia's women's cricket team extended their unbeaten run at the T20 Women's World Cup with a 113-run win over Pakistan at Headingley, marking the biggest margin in four straight group stage victories.
Ellyse Perry Powers 199-7 Australia vs Pakistan Win
Six-time cricket champion Australia batted first and posted 199-7 in their 20 overs. Ellyse Perry set the tone with 71 off 48 balls. She hit nine fours and a six on her way to her second-fastest T20 half-century.
Perry and Georgia Voll (39) put on 100 for the second wicket after opener Beth Mooney was caught by a diving one-handed grab from Gull Feroza off the first ball of the match. Annabel Sutherland (27) and Nicola Carey (26 not out off 13 balls) kept the scoring rate up late.
Perry then struck with her first ball bowling Pakistan out for 86 in 13.4 overs. Three run outs summed up a chaotic chase from a side already eliminated after four straight losses. Muneeba Ali's 32 was Pakistan's only notable score.
Beth Mooney Injury Update Ahead of Australia vs India
The only roadblock for Australia came when Mooney appeared to dislocate a finger while keeping wicket. She needed two medical breaks before staying on.
The T20 Women's World Cup group stage wraps up Sunday, when Australia face India. That match will likely decide the second semifinal spot in Group A.
