New Zealand make women's final

The good news is that Australia won't be in the final to play against England in the Women's World Cup after New Zealand scored of massive 373 against West Indies and won by 223 runs. The bad news is that England lost comprehensively to Australia, after being bowled out for 161.

They key to Sunday's final? It's all about how the top order fares. If England don't get early wickets, New Zealand have shown they can post big scores. And likewise New Zealand will know that if they can get past England's top order, in particular Claire Taylor, then England's middle order looks a little fragile.

Fingers crossed!
