Captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s superb 50 was not enough as India’s lower-order could only manage 167 for 8 in their 20 overs, failing to chase Australia’s challenging 173-run target.
Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet had revived India’s chase after losing key batters early, but an unlucky run-out tipped the scales in favor of Australia, who sealed their seventh successive T20 World Cup final.
