Australia’s Beth Mooney takes ‘impossible’ catch at Women's Cricket World Cup

Australia’s Beth Mooney took a sensational catch as her side crushed the West Indies by 157 runs to reach the Women’s World Cup final. 

In a rain-shortened semi-final, Alyssa Healy struck a sublime 129 and put on a 216-run opening partnership with Rachael Haynes, as the Aussies made 305-3 from 45 overs.

The win means Australia have now reached the World Cup final for the ninth time and could win their seventh title on Sunday.
