Australia Women won by 19 runs Harbax Singh Stadium, Delhi Umpires: Des Raj and Yashpal Sharma Player of the match: Cathryn Fitzpatrick (Aus) |
- India Women won the toss and elected to field.
- Bad light reduced the match to 32 overs a side.
- India were penalised by two overs for a slow over rate.
India and Australia both qualified for the semi-finals, and faced each other on Christmas Eve at Delhi. The start of the match was delayed by two hours and 15 minutes due to bad light, and as a result each side was given 32 overs to bat.[9] India won the toss, and captain Pramila Bhatt chose to field first. Australia, put into bat, began well with an opening partnership of 66 between captain Belinda Clark (31) and Joanne Broadbent (33). Bhatt herself broke the partnership, reducing Australia from 66/0 to 83/3, claiming the wickets of Mel Jones (5) and Michelle Goszko (0), and ending with figures of 3/25.[9] A knock of 23 from Karen Rolton and support from Bronwyn Calver (11) saw Australia past 100, however both Olivia Magno and Charmaine Mason were stumped by Anju Jain off the bowling of Neetu David for ducks, and Australia managed 123 from their 32 overs. For slow bowling, two overs were deducted from India's batting innings.[9]
India's reply did not begin well, falling to 24/2 with both Jain and Anjum Chopra out cheaply for 18 and two, respectively. Chanderkanta Kaul scored 48, however only two other players reached double figures, and together with Smitha Harikrishna and Renu Margrate (both scoring one) they were all run out. Bhatt hit six runs before she was bowled by Cathryn Fitzpatrick, who took 3/18. India's last three players all failed to score. The hosts fell 19 runs short by the end of their 30 overs on 104/9.[9]

New Zealand Women won by 20 runs M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk Umpires: N Muralidaran and P Venkatesan Player of the match: Debbie Hockley (NZ) |
- New Zealand women won the toss and elected to bat.
On Boxing Day, the defending champions England, and New Zealand faced each other in the second semi final at Chepauk, in Chennai. New Zealand won the toss, and captain Maia Lewis chose to bat first. New Zealand lost the early wicket of Emily Drumm for four, however they went on to a score of 93 before another wicket fell. Debbie Hockley top scored with 43, and Shelley Fruin (29), Katrina Keenan (35) and 28 extras took New Zealand to 175/6 from their 50 overs.[10] England's bowlers bowled economically, with three going at economy rates of under 2.90, and medium-pacer Karen Smithies took 3/40.[10]
England, set 176 runs from 49 overs, having been fined one over for their own slow over rate, reached 100 for the loss of four wickets, with Charlotte Edwards scoring 25, Jan Brittin 32 and Barbara Daniels 30.[10] Only two other players reached double figures, however, as England slumped from 100/4 to 155 all out from 47.5 overs. Clare Nicholson took 2/29 for New Zealand, with Katrina Keenan, Hockley, Catherine Campbell and Sarah McLauchlan taking one wicked each, and the remaining four England players being run out. This gave New Zealand a 20 run victory, and they progressed to the finals.[10]

Australia Women won by 5 wickets Eden Gardens, Calcutta Umpires: Aloke Bhattacharjee and S Choudhary Player of the match: Debbie Hockley (NZ) |
- New Zealand Women won the toss and elected to bat.
The final between Australia and New Zealand took place on 29 December at Eden Gardens in Calcutta, in front of an estimated crowd of at least 50–60,000 spectators.[11] New Zealand won the toss, with captain Maia Lewis choosing to bat first. New Zealand began poorly, losing Emily Drumm, Shelley Fruin and Katrina Keenan for six, eight and five respectively, reaching 49/3.[12] Debbie Hockley, New Zealand's opener, scored 79 (48%) of her team score, as New Zealand eventually reached 164 all out from 49.3 overs. Hockley was one of only three New Zealand players to score in double figures, captain Lewis and wicket-keeper Rebecca Rolls scoring 10 and 18 respectively.[12]
Australia bowled well, Bronwyn Calver, Karen Rolton and Charmaine Mason taking two wickets each, with Cathryn Fitzpatrick taking 1/22 off ten overs, including that of Hockley's wicket. Australia were set 165 runs to win, and began solidly, reaching 107/2 with Belinda Clark reaching 52 before being caught and bowled by Catherine Campbell. Knocks of 37 from Michelle Goszko and Karen Rolton's 24 enabled Australia to reach 165/5 from 47.4 overs, three minutes quicker than the New Zealand innings of 176 minutes.[12] The New Zealand bowlers shared two wickets each between Keenan and Kathryn Ramel, with the former the most economical, taking 2/23 at 2.30 an over, however they could not prevent Australia's victory.[12]
