Based on the previous match, I am expecting a nail biting time for that one.. As for the other semi-final, hopefully a stronger West Indies side turn up than the last time they faced Australia...

And what a comeback from England in this tournament. One of the positives I have had from watching this is the development of Charlie Dean. She looks as if she enjoys the warm up throws as well as the actual bowling. The other semi-final will be Australia vs West Indies after a very close match between South Africa and India. Watched the end of it, very nerve wracking...

Indeed they have. Article to confirm below. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60826054
