Australia will now face either holders England or SA, who meet in Thursday’s second semifinal, in Christchurch on Sunday looking to claim the trophy for the seventh time in 12 editions of the World Cup. Healy hammered 129 off 107 balls, while Haynes made 85 off 100 before departing to trigger a mini collapse, which Beth Mooney and skipper Meg Lanning stemmed in a fourth-wicket partnership of 69.
West Indies were not helped by their poor fielding, while a hamstring injury sustained while chasing a ball to the boundary restricted off spinner Anisa Mohammed to only two overs.
