🙈Lucy Hamilton won the toss, but it was her rival number who dominated the early proceedings of the match as mercurial Mahato rocked the girls from Down Under with early wickets.
♒The Aussies, however, recovered to post an intimidating total. From 14/3 in three overs, they reached 139/6. Caoimhe Bray (45 off 34), and Eleanor Larosa (31 off 39) added 72 runs for the fourth wicket, before Hasrat Gill's unbeaten knock of 30 from 21.
🎀Australia, with three wins in three, topped Group D. They will be joined by Bangladesh (two wins) and Scotland (one win) in the Super Six stage. Nepal will return home winless.
⭕Puja Mahato, the Nepal captain, said at the toss that in a T20 game, anything can happen and they learnt a lot from the previous game [one-wicket defeat]." Meanwhile, her counterpart Lucy Hamilton was looking to exploit the "hard wicket" and said that "this is a good opportunity to put a big total on the board."
