Australia win by 98 runs for their third convincing victory of the tournament, but this has also been a story of Netherlands with the bat. They were never going to chase those runs, but de Leede is able to walk off in her 100th T20I with an unbeaten half-century against one of the best sides in the world. Tournaments such as this are about such stories, as much as who might go on and win it. From Australia's point of view, they did the job impressively with the bat but the big aspect for them will be the fitness of Beth Mooney who retired hurt with back stiffness meaning Georgia Voll had to keep wicket - which she did very effectively for a stand-in. It was also a useful outing for Ash Gardner with the bat on here return to the side from injury, while Georgia Wareham continued her good batting form. Netherlands are in a huddle on the outfield reflecting on their day. Presentation to follow.

Beth Mooney is player of the match. "I'm all good, just precautionary, probably just not used to all the bus travel we've been doing. As an opening batter your job is to score runs, from my point of view did my job pretty well today and had a couple of good partnerships...thought we were very comprehensive and the bowlers did a great job restricting them to 120."

Babette de Leede "This is a massive moment for us and also for me personally and Robine Rijke to play our 100th T20I against the best team in the world, it doesn't get much better than that. It's a massive opportunity for us, Australia are a quality team, to learn from them, see how they go about their innings, it's just incredible. And to have our home supporters here, it's such a special opportunity, and they very loud which was great for us."

Sophie Molineux "It was a good win. I thought the Netherlands played really well, especially Sterre and Babette there, we just couldn't get a wicket, full credit to them, but really pleased we could make a big score and was really enjoyable to be out here and play against them."

I'll wrap things up there for this game. Australia march on but plenty for Netherlands to be proud about. Stay with us for Pakistan-Bangladesh which follows shortly; you can follow that one here. For now, from Gnasher, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.
