Derby, July 20 (IBNS): Harmanpreet Kaur went on to score a big hundred as India posted a total of 281/4 in 42 overs against Australia in the semi final of Women's World Cup on Thursday.

Kaur's unbeaten 171 runs innings from 115 balls anchored the innings of Indian team through out.

Winning the toss, India came out to bat and had a slow start along with the initial fall of wickets.

Both the openers, Smriti Mandhana and Punam Raut, were dismissed early but it was the partnership between the skipper Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur instilled life into the Indian batting.

Though Raj got out at 36 (61), Kaur partnered Deepti sharma and later Veda Krishnamurthy to guide the team to big total.

All Australian bowlers went at high run rate. Ashleigh Gardner was economical comparatively with the bowling figure 1/43 in eight overs.

The match has been reduced to 42 overs each side due to rain.
