Top Australia beat England to win Women's World Cup

Australia, drove by a brilliant 170 from Alyssa Healy, changed the record books to beat a brave England by 71 runs in the Women's World Cup last in Christchurch on Sunday. Australia amassed an overwhelming 356 for five yet the reigning champs England, confronted with a record target, kept up the run rate yet ran out of wickets to be excused for 285 in the 44th over, with Nat Shiver unbeaten on 148.

Unfathomable,' player-of-the-match and player-of-the-competition Healy said to describe her innings - - the most noteworthy in any ladies' or alternately men's World Cup. Never in my most out-of-this-world fantasies had I at any point remembered to do any such thing. Our group embarks to win occasions like this  you need to add to that, isn't that right? I'm super delighted in being out there.

The triumph proceeded with Australia's predominance of the 50-over design with their seventh title from 12 World Cups and expanded their one-day global record to 38 successes from 39 matches throughout the course of recent years. To come out and perform so well through the entire competition, truth be told, is really astonishing I think we merited the triumph today, Australian commander Meg Lancing, said honoring Healy. To do it in a World Cup, last. She's only ready to come to join the fun so well, and a portion of those shots she were playing were ludicrous. Britain commander Heather Knight called Healy's innings 'truly outstanding' and said it was sad her group couldn't fabricate a major association around Shiver.

In any case, I surmise the sudden spikes in demand for the board implied we needed to face a couple of challenges,' she said.  Against England, Australia lost the throw yet nothing else. Knight put Australia in to bat, noticing her side had bowled 'exceptionally well' at Hanley Oval, yet Australian openers Perry and Rachael Haynes were not tuning in. They showed tolerance, scoring a calm 26 off the initial eight overs before Healy went on the frenzy, offering the bowlers no appreciation as she beat all places of the limit with 26 fours.

Her 170, off only 138 conveyances, was the most noteworthy score in a lady or alternately men's World Cup last, the most noteworthy score in this competition, and added to her competition record of 509 runs, obscuring the 497, set by Haynes prior in similar innings. The Healy and Haynes 160-run opening stand was a record association for any wicket in a World Cup last.

Britain might have guaranteed the two wickets in the 21st over, with Australia still during the 90s, when Healy and Haynes have dropped off the bowling of Kate Cross. It took Australia 22,   2 overs to raise their initial 100, 13 additional overs for the second hundred however only nine overs for the third, helped by England getting back to the unfortunate handling which had tormented their beginning to the World Cup when they lost their initial three games.

Whenever Haynes went for 68, Beth Mooney joined Healy in a 156-run association before Healy's phenomenal innings finished in the 46th over, when she missed an Anya Shrubsole conveyance outside off stump and was baffled. Mooney immediately followed for 62 as Australia lost four wickets in a drive for runs off the last four overs, with Elyssa Perry completing not out 17 after coming in at number seven on her return from injury.

Shrubsole was the one England bowler to perform with credit with three for 46 off her 10 over, the figures expanded by the last over which cost 15 runs. Britain put forth a decided attempt to remain reachable for the expected run rate yet was hampered by wickets falling at standard stretches. Shiver  148 was the second-most elevated score in a Women's World Cup last, however, the following best for England was 27 by opener Tammy Beaumont.

For Australia, Jess Jonassen took more time for 57 and Alana King got done with three for 64.
