That brings an end to our coverage for this game. Keep joining us for more cricketing action all around the globe. For now, this is Ajay Pal Singh, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentator Akshay Bhide and scorer Zeeshan Naiyer. Bye bye.
Tahlia McGrath (Australia Women Vice-Captain): "Not a lot, calf, asses the damage. Yeah a lot to process for us, heartbroken for the two girls. Heartbroken for her, she has had struggles with injuries. We love Tay, it was pretty hard to watch, just to come together as group and focus on the job at hand.
Yeah, we thought, in these conditions, the best is to chase the total. Little bit different than Sharjah, Schutt sends the tone for us and spinners follow suit.
(On change in conditions from Sharjah to Dubai) Yeah, big meeting tomorrow with going through the stats. Lots of communication throughout the game on what's working.
The thing about this team is how much depth we have got and yeah, time to use it (on Alyssa Healy's injury and she possibly missing the final group game against India).

Muneeba Ali (Pakistan Women Captain): "Yeah, it's been challenging. But as a professional, we are very much aware of the magnitude of this game. We were not up to the mark in batting. That's not how you approach a T20 game. That's really embarrassing.
Belief should have been there. That's why we are here in T20 World Cup.
I have been vice-captain for my team. It's a good opportunity for me to learn as well.
Obviously, that's why we are here to play and we are here to win. We have to step up in the next game and improve."

Ashleigh Gardner (Player of the Match): "It was nice conditions to be honest. There was some little extra bounce than we saw in Sharjah. It was a clinical performance from the bowling perspective.
(On Tayla Vlaeminck's injury) Yeah, it certainly did to see one of our best mates to go down. We are certainly feeling for her. She is in good spirits. It was unfortunate for her to go down after coming here.
I feel like I have been training in the right direction. A nice challenge coming up against India. It will challenge me. I must have clear plans while playing against them. But credit to everyone for putting up a good performance.
This is the best part of this team. We saw Georgia Wareham bat at three in some games and is also a great finisher. We are all clear in our role. Our order is so fluid. Credit to our top order for putting on a show."

9:55 PM IST & 8:25 PM Local Time: That's it! Australia Women brush aside Pakistan by 9 wickets to extend their unbeaten run in T20 World Cups to 14 games. Pakistan were bowled out for 82 and it was just a formality after that which Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry completed with fine knocks of 37 and 22 respectively. Pakistan's chances of making it to the semis hit rock bottom and they now need a miracle to make it to the next stage from Group A.
Earlier in the game, Australia captain Alyssa Healy won the toss and opted to bowl first. The defending champions lost Tayla Vlaeminck early in the game as she injured her shoulder while trying to save a boundary in the first over.
However, the rest of the bowlers stepped up as Australia bowled out Pakistan for 82 in 19.5 overs. Ashleigh Gardner was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with figures of 4/21.
Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Wareham picked up two apiece while Megan Schutt and Sophie Molineux got one wicket each.
Chasing 83 for the win, Australia lost Beth Mooney early in the piece but their skipper Alyssa Healy found form and raced to 37 off 23 before a possible calf injury forced her to walk off retired hurt.
Ellyse Perry remained unbeaten on 22 off 23 to steer the Aussies to yet another dominant win. Stick around for the post-match presentation..

10.6 T Hassan to E Perry
1 Tossed up around off, 72.1 kmph, Perry steps out of the crease and chips it towards long off for a single. Falls well short of Dar and that will be the end of this fixture. Australia Women beat Pakistan Women by nine wickets to remain unbeaten in this year's World Cup.
10.5 T Hassan to E Perry
0 Shorter in length around off, 77.4 kmph, Perry hangs back and cuts it but finds covers.
Scores are level.
10.4 T Hassan to A Gardner
1 Short on the stumps, 77.5 kmph, Gardner pulls it hard but straight to deep mid wicket for a single. Scores level!!
A couple of bounces and into the fence. Just two now needed for Australia to get over the line.
10.3 T Hassan to A Gardner
4 FOUR!!! Smashed by Gardner. Tuba drops it short again on the pads, Gardner is quick to transfer her weight on the back leg and pull it aerially in the vacant deep square leg region for a boundary. Just two required to win now.
10.2 T Hassan to E Perry
1 Short again down leg, Perry goes for the pull but gets a top edge over the keeper for a single.
10.1 T Hassan to E Perry
4 FOUR!! Poor delivery and gets the treatment it deserved. Over the wicket, short delivery down leg, Perry rocks back and pulls it in the vacant fine leg region. No chance for the fielder in the deep to cut it off.
Tuba Hassan comes into the attack after the drinks break.
