final
LONDON (AP) --- Australia won the Women's Twenty20 World Cup after smashing
England in the final by seven wickets at Lord's on Sunday.
Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield supercharged the chase of 151 runs from the
second over to the 13th in a 100-run partnership off 67 balls.
Litchfield fell 34 runs from victory and Mooney was out 11 runs from the
inevitable end after her third match-winning fifty in Australia's last three
finals.
Overseeing the winning runs in the middle with 17 balls to spare was another
stalwart, Ellyse Perry, winning her seventh world T20 trophy.
Australia pulled off the highest successful chase in a final at 153-3 after
restricting England to 150-4.
