And weirdly (must be an ICC scheduling error that must NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN), New Zealand play the last match in the group and may know what they need to do to qualify...

Why is that a problem?

Why is that a problem?

its such a poor oversight, and obviously arrogance that the ICC assumed India would not need any assistance this time...well apart from being allocated a semi final in Dubai on a pitch they prepared...

LBW Decision overturned. Healy gets a lifeline.

It's not a lifeline, it wasn't out. A lifeline is when it was out and they didn't review. Otherwise every ball that goes through to the keeper is a lifeline.

Pakistan women to give the Aussie women a bit of a scare tonight in Dubai.

 

[NYRB]

If Pakistan are ever going to knock over the Aussies and end this 13-0 run , surely it has to be in their neighbourhood (UAE )?

Im expecting Pakistan to really give a good game tonight.

Aussies won the toss in Game 14 against Pakistan and elected to field first.

That's a very Meg Lanning decision

Healy with no doubt there was an edge, and the umpire looked bemused after the review was called for

Good on Healy for backing herself

Snicko was so noisy it was useless

That's 2 overturned. That one was pretty bad.

And the 3rd was a harsh call

Yeah it was another poor one, but I thought the reaction was pathetic. Stamping her bat with the death stare at the ump? Lol

Pakistani/Indian emotions can be quite raw when it comes to the women's cricket.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wish Australia batted first

 

[cats_09]

Wareham's first couple of balls weren't great and easily picked off leg side, but definitely improved from there and been hard to get away since - rewarded with two wickets so far

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Disaster of a match with two key injuries. Fortunately Mooney can keep but all players going to need to step up to cover the losses.

 

[CURVE]

TV has to be the unluckiest player in history, just can't get a decent break.

I’m at Dubai International stadium for my first ever neutral World Cup game. ( South Africa v Bangladesh) Must say it’s an impressive stadium. Also going to the Final next Sunday and two semi- finals.

Image of the World Cup so far for me (and I’ve been to 3 games). A South African fan and a Bangladesh fan exchanging jerseys to get in a selfie.
