New Zealand eves beat India in Super Six encounter India eves lost their crucial Super Six match to New Zealand by five wickets in the women's World Cup on Tuesday. More... Indian eves lose to New Zealand in Women's World Cup 17 Mar 2009, 1146 hrs IST, PTI SYDNEY: Half centuries by Anjum Chopra and Reema Malhotra went in vain as New Zealand thumped India by five wickets in a Super Six stage match of the ICC Women's World Cup on Monday. After captain Jhulan Goswami won the toss and decided to bat first, India were all out for 207 in 49.4 overs, thanks largely to Anjum's 106-ball 52 and Reema's brisk 52-ball 59. Opener Kate Pulford led New Zealand's chase with an 89-ball 71 as the Kiwis romped to 210 for five wickets with 14 balls to spare. Coming in to bat first, India were dealt an early blow in the fourth over itself when Anagha Deshpande (8) edged a Kate Pulford delivery to wicketkeeper Rachel Priest. Priyanka Roy departed soon after (3), trapped LBW by Aimee Mason, to leave India, who beat Australia in their opening Super Six encounter, reeling at 26 for two. In-form Mithali Raj (21) walked in to resurrect the innings with Anjum but the duo's slow pace of scoring meant that the Indians managed just a little over 60 runs in the first 20 overs. Mithali's dismissal, caught by Priest off the bowling of medium pacer Sophie Divine, triggered another mini-collapse as Anjum, Rumeli Dhar (5) and skipper Jhulan Goswami (4) fell in quick succession, leaving India tottering at 126 for six in the 33rd over. Reema Malhotra, however, held the other end and guided India to 153 by the 43rd over before being run out by Divine. Reema smashed eight fours in her 52-ball innings that gave the much needed acceleration to Indian scoring. Vice-captain Amita Sharma (14) and and Harmanpreet Kaur (13) then played out small cameos to take India to a respectable 207. However, the Kiwi eves, who lost to India in the preliminary stage, made a solid start to their chase with openers Kate Pulford (71) and skipper Haidee Tiffin (23) putting on a 78-run stand. Sravanthi Naidu trapped Tiffen in front of the wicket to give India the first breakthrough in the 18th over. But the Kiwis rode on Pulford's 89-ball innings that was studded with 10 fours and some fine middle-order contributions by Suzie Bates (47 not out) and Aimee Mason (23) to continue their unbeaten run. Priyanka was the most successful of the Indian bowlers picking up a couple of wickets but her spell was rather expensive as she conceded 60 runs in her quota of 10 overs. Indian next play the West Indies on March 19.

England book World Cup final spot England thrash West Indies by 146 runs to book their place in the final of the Women's World Cup. More... England women book Cup final spot ICC Women's World Cup, Drummoyne Oval, Sydney: England 236-8 (50 overs) bt West Indies 90 (38.2 overs) by 146 runs Match scorecard _45573575_sarahtaylor_getty226.jpgWicketkeeper Taylor top-scored as England continued their unbeaten run England thrashed West Indies by 146 runs to book their place in the Women's World Cup final - with one game of the Super Six phase still to be played. Their opponents will be decided on Thursday - with New Zealand in pole position ahead of Australia and India. Sarah Taylor (78) and Caroline Atkins (50) added 134 for the first wicket, while Claire Taylor hit 65 as England made 236-8 after winning the toss. In reply, the Windies were skittled for 90 as spinner Laura Marsh took 3-17. It is the first time England have qualified for a World Cup final since they won the trophy in 1993 - while the victory extended their unbeaten one-day international run to 17 matches. They're an inspiration and I have to say a cut above all of the oppostition to date. Looking forward to the final! England might have hoped for an even bigger total before losing both their openers within four deliveries as four wickets fell for 11 runs. But although no-one below the top three reached double figures, Claire Taylor - playing her 107th one-day international - farmed the strike successfully to smash six fours and two sixes, making 65 from 56 balls before being trapped lbw by Pamela Lavine in the final over. The Windies, who have won only one of their five games at the tournament, used nine bowlers as they tried to restrict England's scoring. Left-arm seamer Shanel Daley was the pick of the attack with 3-31, although she was unable to bat because of injury. The West Indies lost captain Merissa Aguilleira for a duck when she was run out by wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor in the fifth over. Wickets tumbled at regular intervals as England kept an iron grip on the game, with seamer Katherine Brunt conceding only seven runs from her six overs, while captain Charlotte Edwards sent down 10 overs of leg-spin for only 12 runs. As in the England innings, only three players reached double figures - and it was down to teenager Deandra Dottin (23), who hit a six, to give the score a modicum of respectability. But it was Marsh who claimed three of the last four wickets to fall as Edwards' team marched on to Sunday's final. Edwards said: "We're now closer to our goal than we have ever been. "We've still only done half a job though and we need to keep focused to finish it off on Sunday. "I'm delighted for all the players - it has been years of hard work and I hope it will be memorable!" "We're definitely excited to have got this far - but it's not over yet," insisted coach Mark Lane. _45573647_kiwijoy_getty226.jpgNew Zealand are close to securing their place in the final "Credit must go to everyone who has put all the hard work in. There is still so much more to do though. "We've made the final but not won it. We still need a big performance on Sunday which no doubt we can produce." Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe said: "England's women have been the team to beat since the 2009 World Cup began - but they have out-scored and out-bowled all their rivals so far. "Charlotte Edwards and her team-mates deserve huge credit for reaching the final with this latest win against the West Indies - so maintaining their unblemished record. "Whoever they play in Sunday's final I know they will give another 100% performance to try and bring the Women's World Cup to England for the first time since 1993." In Tuesday's other game, New Zealand edged to a five-wicket win over India to leave themselves on target to reach the final. Having bowled India out for 207, the White Ferns reached their target with 14 balls to spare. Opener Kate Pulford top-scored with 71, while Suzie Bates saw her side home with 47 not out. New Zealand, who won the Cup in 2000, know that a win over Pakistan in their final Super Six game on Thursday will guarantee them a place in the final with England. But defeat for the Kiwis could let in Australia or India - if either manage to beat England or West Indies respectively. Australia kept their hopes alive on Monday by defeating Pakistan by 107 runs, despite resting captain Karen Rolton.

one thing I noticed, our overrate was 20 over per hour. I went for a shower around 9.45 am and when came back around 10.00 am, 6 and half overs were gone. If Ricky ponting was captain iwould have missed 2 overs max. We really lost the game with poor fielding. Few drop catches and poor ring fielding.

During that period, three spinners were in operation. Roy,Sultan and Malhotra. Roy would finish an over at the blink of an eye.Damn quick! Why didn't Goswamy bowl after the first spell ?:nervous:
