Navi Mumbai, Oct. 30 -- A historic century from opener Phoebe Litchfield and half-centuries from all-rounders Ashleigh Gardner and Ellyse Perry took Australia to a massive 338 in 49.5 overs during their ICC Women's World Cup semifinal clash against India on Thursday.

A historic century from Litchfield, making her the youngest to score a Women's World Cup knockout century, her 155-run stand with Ellyse Perry gave Australia a solid platform at 180/2. But India bounced back, reducing the Aussies to 265/6. Later on, Gardner and Kim Garth's seventh-wicket 66-run stand took the Aussies to 338 in 49.5 overs. This is the second-highest score in a women's WC knockout match, next to Australia's 356/5 against England in the 2022 edition final.
