Megan Schutt
Australia can claim a spot in the tri-series final with victory over India, with finding a way to stop in-form opener Smriti Mandhana key for the Southern Stars after she plundered 67 and 76 in India's first two matches.
In reply, Megan Schutt became the first Australian woman to claim a T20I hat-trick after throwing India's top-order into disarray. Harmanpreet Kaur stuck around but couldn't find the fence regularly enough in her 30-ball 33, and when both she and Rodrigues fell within an over of each other, India were 97 for 5, still needing 90 more to win and with only 6.1 overs left. She completed her hat-trick in the first ball of the fifth over by removing Sharma, who gave a sitter to Amanda Jade Wellington at mid-off, leaving the hosts in deep trouble at 26/3.
Told by team by coach Tushar Arothe during the innings break that she will open the innings, Jemimah Rodrigues scored her maiden half century for the women in blue.
Before then, England concludes the group stage with games against Australia on Wednesday and India on Thursday.
It was only the seventh hat-trick in Women's T20Is and the first for Australia.
Earlier, after winning the toss, Harmanpreet Kaur invited Meg Lanning's squad to bat first and propelled by Elyse Villani's 61-run knock, which included 10 boundaries, the Aussie side managed to set a respected target of 187 runs in front of the Indian team to win.

Russian ambassadors summoned by Poland, Baltic states
The RIA news agency cited a spokesman for the Russian embassy to Poland, and a representative of the embassy in Lithuania. Moscow retaliated against the British expulsions by expelling 23 British diplomats, as well as taking other measures.
Rodrigues, who scored her maiden global fifty, and Harmanpreet dealt in ones and twos but the big shots just did not come through for the two.
However, opener Beth Mooney (71) and Elyse Villani (61) not only struck a fifty each, but they also stitched together a century stand to power Australia to a decent total of 186/5.
A quick-fire 38 off 26 balls from Anuja Patil did chip in but the asking rate had risen considerably by then.
Pooja Vastraker did not let the Aussie team have a good start as she sent wicket-keeper batsman Alyssa Healy (9) back to the pavilion in the second over.
From India, Pooja Vastrakar took two wickets.
Villani was caught by Rodrigues off Poonam Yadav, but Mooney continued to hit out, only falling in the 19th over, giving Rodrigues her third catch and Jhulan Goswami her only wicket.
