Meg Lanning, Alyssa Healy starred for Australia in their thrilling six wickets win against India in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 here in Auckland on Saturday.By chasing the target of 288 at the Eden Park, Australia smashed their own record of the highest successful chase in a Women's World Cup game. The previous highest successful chase in a World Cup game was Australia's 258, against Sri Lanka in 2017.Australia who are currently unbeaten in the World Cup 2022 have now qualified for the semi-final with 5 wins.Meg Lanning played a brilliant knock of 97 while opener Alyssa Healy laid the foundation for Australian victory with a quick 72.

Rachael Haynes, who was mostly a silent spectator in the early exchanges, wasn't to be left far behind as she too got in on the act, finishing the Powerplay at a run-a-ball 25.Australia looked in command throughout, and apart from a couple of run-out opportunities, didn't really offer India any chances on the field.The opening pair soon brought up the second 100-run opening stand in this edition of the World Cup - the first one being the partnership between Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews, which also came against India.India finally broke through in the 20th over with the wicket of Healy. The reverse-sweep off Sneh Rana went straight into the hands of Mithali Raj at third, thus breaking the 121-run stand. One wicket brought two as Vastrakar's well-directed short-ball hurried Raynes, edging the ball to the gloves of Richa Ghosh. At the halfway stage, Australia were 142/2 with Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry at the crease.India's hope to get back in the game were short-lived as Lanning and Perry dropped the anchor with runs kept coming at ease for the Aussie duo. After 40 overs in the innings, the rain interrupted the play for a bit which helped India as after the resumption, Perry fell for 28 off Pooja Vastrakar.Beth Mooney joined Lanning on the crease and made sure Australia don't lose their composure going into the death overs. Chase became tricky when Lanning fell 3 runs short of her century in the penultimate over but Beth Mooney with ice in her veins called the game off for Australia in the last over.Earlier, fighting knocks from Mithali Raj, Yastika Bhatia accompanied by Harmanpreet Kaur's late flourish helped India to reach the score of 277/7 in the assigned 50 overs.Indian skipper Mithali Raj played a gritty inning of 68 while Yastika Bhatia scored 59 at the Eden Park.
