They made it very tricky for us to set fields, it was a very good wicket and that innings by Alyssa was outstanding. Shrubsole, the hero in 2017 as England beat India in the final, was once again involved in the closing action as she was the final wicket to go, Gardner taking the winning catch as England fell 71 runs short with Sciver stranded on 148 not out. A packed Hagley Oval rose to applaud as Healy departed with Australia on 316 for two before another wicket came in Shrubsole’s over as Ashleigh Gardner was run out for one. And she then surpassed the highest score in a Women’s World Cup final as she moved to 111 with a four off Cross. As against the West Indies in the semi-final, Haynes’ half-century came first – off 69 balls – before Healy’s was brought up off 62 as they eased their way to the highest opening partnership in a World Cup final. Nat Sciver’s stand of 148 not out was not enough to overturn Australia’s remarkable 356-5, a new record in a women’s World Cup final bettered only in significance by Alyssa Healy’s 170 from 138 balls – a new record for a women’s or men’s World Cup final.

Heather Knight’s side started their mammoth chase positively, and scored faster than their opponents at the start of the innings, reaching 59 for two after 10 overs while Australia had been 37 without loss. The 29-year-old had already scored a ton against Australia in their opening match of the tournament, which England also lost, and did so again in the final in Christchurch, including the only six of the match. Australia’s Alyssa Healy struck a sensational record-breaking century as her side powered to a 71-run victory over England to win the Women’s World Cup.

"Coming into this final, we know that they're going to be coming out at us really hard. Different people have been standing up at different times, which I think holds us in good stead." "Any game that we come up against England is always a really tight contest. Everybody trains, everybody comes away to try and get out on the field. Ultimately, that's the most important thing."

Rachael Haynes is now on strike, Brunt comes in, has to abort. Outswinger from Brunt and Healy had to play at the ball pitching middle and off before swinging away past the outside edge.

"I think the positive memories that a lot of this group have of winning the 50-over World Cup finals will be really useful for us, knowing that we can deal with that pressure when games are close and things are at stake," Knight said. "We feel like that does add to our side and our ability to win." "At the end of the day, you've got to trust your bowlers and back them to be able to deliver and we've got six very good bowlers who we'll take into this game and we're fully confident that they'll be able to do the job."

They were unconvincing against Bangladesh and India took them into the final over of the match, but Beth Mooney’s unflappable nature just keeps on propelling them towards wins. But their batting line up is just so deep and they have so much belief that there’s never a moment of panic. England started with three losses on the trot and looked every bit as hapless as they did during the Ashes. But somehow they rallied, Danni Wyatt started scoring runs, Katherine Brunt started looking fearsome again and Sophie Ecclestone showed why she is such a world class spinner.

We’ve had a look (at the pitch), we think we know what’s going to happen and now we’ve just got to play to it.” “I think winning will mean more after the start we had and being able to turn it around would be remarkable. “We’re well-equipped for batting or bowling under lights, it really doesn’t bother us.
