Australia were all out on 440 in their first innings with Beth Mooney scoring a century as Sophie Ecclestone took a five-wicket haul. However, things took a drastic turn for the visitors as their batters failed to put up a fight at the MCG.

The first quarter started off on a very strong note for South Korea as they displayed a very attacking brand of hockey. Jihun Yang also converted a penalty corner to give them the lead. 

Starting the tournament as clear favourites, Paris Olympics bronze-medallists India haven't disappointed so far, beating hosts China 3-0, Japan 5-1, trouncing Malaysia 8-1 before registering a 3-1 victory against Korea in their last match.

Fighting against the dominant Aussie bowlers, the likes of Heather Knight and co,22win failed with the bat as Alana King walked away with 9 wickets in the match.

Despite a late fightback from the lower-order, England's batting collapsed as Australia took the Ashes 16-0, and leave their opponents searching for answers.
