ICC World Twenty20 Women’s final came to a conclusion at Lord’s when England beat New Zealand by six wickets.
A devastating spell of high-class swing bowling from Katherine Brunt helped England beat New Zealand comfortably to win the Women’s ICC World Twenty20.
Player of the tournament Claire Taylor hit an unbeaten 39 as England won by six wickets with 18 balls to go.
England now hold the Ashes, the 50-over World Cup and the Twenty20 trophies.
In contrast to their nervous performance in the field in the semi-final at The Oval, when Australia hit 163-5, this was a highly-polished display by all the bowlers and the fielders, not least wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor who took a stumping and two fine catches.
