England were knocked out of the women's Twenty20 tri-series after losing to Australia by 16 runs in the final group game at Melbourne's Junction Oval.
Despite Beth Mooney's 50, the hosts posted a below-par 132-7 from 20 overs as spinners Sarah Glenn (2-18) and Sophie Ecclestone (2-19) excelled.
But England were left to rue some poor shots as the run-rate spiralled.
They fell eight runs short of the 124 they needed to pip India to a place in the final on net run-rate.
England would have met India in the final had they won, but defeat meant all three sides finished level on points, with Australia and India going through.
