Australia seemed to be galloping before captain Meg Lanning went out for 97 in the penultimate over.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid the mounting tension in Auckland, Australia needed eight from the final, only for Beth Mooney to seal the six-wicket victory with three balls remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

It meant Australia surpassed the 258 it took against Sri Lanka at the 2017 World Cup, while also recording the third-best chase in all women’s one-day internationals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their fifth win of the tournament puts them two points behind South Africa at the top of the table and guarantees a place in the bottom four.<\/span><\/p>\n
