India and Australia both qualified for the semi finals, and faced each other on [[Christmas Eve]] at [[Delhi]]. The start of the match was delayed for two hours and 15 minutes for bad light, and as a result each side was given 32 overs to bat.<ref name=semi1/> India won the toss, and captain [[Pramila Bhatt]] chose to field first. Australia, put into bat, began well with an opening partnership of 66 between captain [[Belinda Clark]] (31) and [[Joanne Broadbent]] (33). Bhatt herself broke the partnership, reducing Australia from 66/0 to 83/3 with the wickets of Bhatt, [[Mel Jones]] (5) and [[Michelle Goszko]] (0), ending with figures of 3/25.<ref name=semi1>[http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/67203.html India Women v Australia Women – Hero Honda Women's World Cup – 1st Semi Final] from [[CricInfo]] retrieved 2 June 2008</ref> A knock of 23 from [[Karen Rolton]] and support from [[Bronwyn Calver]] (11) saw Australia past 100, however both [[Olivia Magno]] and [[Charmaine Mason]] were stumped by [[Anju Jain]] off the bowling of [[Neetu David]] for [[duck (cricket)|duck]]s, and Australia managed 123 from their 32 overs.

India's reply did not begin as successfully, falling to 24/2 with both Jain and [[Anjum Chopra]] out cheaply for 18 and two respectively. [[Chanderkanta Kaul]] scored 48, however only two other players reached double figures, and together with [[Smitha Harikrishna]] and [[Renu Margrate]] (both scoring one) they were all [[run out]]. Bhatt hit six runs herself before she was bowled by [[Cathryn Fitzpatrick]], who took 3/18.
