England win the World Cup in Australia!

Congratulations go to the England Women's cricket team who won the Cricket World Cup last weekend beating New Zealand. Hosts Australia unfortunately didn't make it to the final despite being pre-tournament favourites.

Warwickshire fast bowler Nicky Shaw, called into the squad only minutes before the start, returned career best figures of 4-34 as New Zealand, batting first were bowled out for 166 in 47 overs after winning the toss.

In response, after a nervy start, where they were at one stage 149-6, England reached their target with 23 balls to spare. Shaw returned to star with the bat knocking 17 off 23 balls earning her the player-of-the-match. It's the 3rd time that England have won the tournament and they replace Australia as the No.1 women's team. Surely a good omen for the (men's) Ashes starting in July.
