China, who had defeated hosts India in their first match on Saturday, had a short turnaround between matches and had to absorb some early pressure before going on to beat Australia.
The cricket world erupted with mixed emotions after India advanced to the final of the ongoing biennial event ahead of England despite their semifinal match getting abandoned without even a ball being bowled.
After the last league match between South Africa and West Indies got abandoned due to rain, the Proteas added one point to their tally and moved to the top of Group B table.
It was a do-or-die encounter for Australia and New Zealand as both the teams were tied at 4 points before their final match in Group A. This implied that the Monday's encounter was a virtual quarterfinal for both the teams.
Leg-spinner Georgia Wareham was declared the Player of the Match for her figures of 3 for 17.
In a bid to boost the run-rate, Mooney was caught out at boundary ropes, courtesy a brilliant airborne catch by Suzie Bates.
If this was not enough to boast, the 83 scored by Healy against Bangladesh is the most in an innings by a keeper at the mega event.
Healy scored 83 off 53 with the help of ten fours and three sixes, whereas Mooney scored 81 not out off 58 which was laced with 9 fours. The duo stitched an opening-wicket partnership of 151 runs and took the match far away from Bangladesh.
"We are gonna have bat today. It's generally a good batting wicket here and gives us a chance to start well with the bat," said Lanning after winning the toss.
Schutt has also become the first woman cricketer to take two hat-tricks in international cricket.
