Earlier, opener Phoebe Litchfield's 119 off 93 balls was the cornerstone of Australia's massive total of 338 in 50 overs in the second semifinal.
Besides Litchfield, Ellyse Perry (77 off 88 balls) added stability during a 155-run stand for the second wicket, while Ashleigh Gardner provided late fireworks with 65 off 45 balls after Australia opted to bat first.

For Australia, Kim Garth (2/46) and Annabel Sutherland (2/69) were among the wickets.
