English women on top
English women maintained their supremacy in world cricket as they beat New Zealand by six wickets in the final of Twenty20 World Cup at Lord’s here on Sunday. They had won the One-Day International World Cup beating the same opposition earlier this year in March.
The game had no trappings of a final and was heavily loaded in the home side’s favour after New Zealand was all out with just 85 on the board. Fast bowler Katherine Brunt was the chief tormentor. She ran through the top order to return with astonishing figures of 4-0-6-3 that strangled the White Ferns.
Only four Kiwi batters could get into the double figures with Amy Satterthwaite top-scoring with a painstaking 19 churned off 42 balls. Nicola Shaw and Jenny Gunn were the other English bowlers who proved too good for their rivals, scalping two wickets each as the New Zealanders paraded to the pavilion.
