Match preview

Pre-tournament favourites Australia have not been weighed down by expectation at the Women's World Cup, breezing through to the semi-finals with seven wins out of seven.

Meg Lanning's side face 13-2 outsiders West Indies in the first semi at Wellington's Basin Reserve, where they hammered the Windies by seven wickets in their group-stage meeting.

Ellyse Perry, who kickstarted the victory by taking two wickets in the second over of the West Indies' innings, is an injury doubt but Australia have the depth to cope without their star all-rounder.

One bet that stands out is the 7-1 about Windies wicketkeeper Shemaine Campbelle top-scoring for her side.

The number-five made 20, the second-highest score of the innings, in the defeat to Australia and has reached 50 in two of her six knocks, scoring a crucial 66 in the narrow win over defending champions England.

Campbelle warmed up for the tournament with 63 against India and could have a big role to play if Australia's new-ball bowlers continue their fine form.

England and South Africa meet in the second semi-final in Christchurch, starting at 2am on Thursday (UK & Ireland time). England, who have recovered after losing their first three games, are 8-11 to make the final.
