Australia crushes England but fail to make Cup final Australia shattered England's unbeaten record, but still failed to make Sunday's Women's Cricket World Cup final. More... Australia defeat England but fail to make World Cup final March 19, 2009 Australia shattered England's unbeaten record, but still failed to make Sunday's Women's Cricket World Cup final. The defending champion and host nation produced their best performance in six matches, after earlier losses to New Zealand and India proved fatal to their chances of winning a sixth title. Australia became the first team in the current tournament to bowl England out, dismissing them for 161 in the 50th over. It was England's first loss in 21 one day internationals, but it was a hollow victory for Australia, who knocked off the modest target in 34.5 overs. Australia's only chance of making the final rested on Pakistan upsetting New Zealand, but the White Ferns effectively sealed their spot with an extraordinary batting performance. New Zealand blasted 7-373, the highest score of the tournament with youngster Suzie Bates slamming 168 off 105 balls and featuring in a double century stand with captain Haidee Tiffen (100). Australia's victory over England was set up by some fine new ball bowling from Sarah Andrews (3-35 off 8.3 overs). England slumped to 3-46 before a fourth wicket stand between Claire Taylor (49) and Lydia Greenway (22) added 60 for the fourth wicket. England's inning subsided again after they lost 4-9 to crash to 7-115 in the 35th over. Spinners Shelley Nitschke (2-14 off 10) and Lisa Sthalekar (2-31 off 10) worked their way through the bottom half of the order. Australia made light work of their run chase with openers Nitschke (37 off 43) and Leah Poulton (38 off 47) piling on 79 in just 14.3 overs. Both fell in the first two overs of the bowling powerplay, but captain Karen Rolton (41 not out off 55) and her deputy Alex Blackwell (38 off 58) hurried their side to a comfortable win with their unbroken 83 run partnership. Australia will now play India in the third and fourth place play offs at Sydney's Bankstown Oval on Saturday.

Cricket: White Ferns book final New 7:00PM Thursday Mar 19, 2009 Mark Geenty She was predicted to be the star of the women's cricket World Cup and Suzie Bates didn't disappoint today as New Zealand rumbled into Sunday's final against England. Bates smashed 168 off 105 balls - a New Zealand record and third-highest one-day international innings of all time - as the White Ferns crushed Pakistan by 223 runs in the Super Six match at Drummoyne Oval to book their fourth World Cup final appearance. Records tumbled at the tree-lined inner city oval as Bates and captain Haidee Tiffen added 262 for the second wicket, New Zealand's highest ODI stand for any wicket and just six short of the world record held by England pair Sarah Taylor and Caroline Atkins. Tiffen scored a more sedate 100 off 128 balls to finally notch her first ODI century in her 116th match. It boosted New Zealand to 373 for seven off their 50 overs, 82 short of their 1997 record total against the same opponents. Pakistan dug in for 48.1 overs before the White Ferns dismissed them for 150, spinner Lucy Doolan leading the way with three for 30. Still just 21, Otago allrounder Bates has packed plenty into an international sporting career which included a Beijing Olympics appearance for the Tall Ferns basketballers. Tiffen had tipped Bates - who holds the New Zealand domestic one-day record score of 183 not out - as a potential tournament star but she started slowly with just 58 runs from four innings. Fortunes started to turn when Bates guided New Zealand to a crucial five-wicket win over India with 47 not out on Tuesday, then she cut loose today for her second ODI century with a series of powerful drives through and over the field. Nineteen fours and six sixes later, Bates passed Karen le Comber's New Zealand ODI record of 135 not out (against Ireland in 1996). Her first half-century took 49 balls, her second 32 and her third just 19. "We got off to a good start and the wicket was the best we've played on this tournament. Haidee kept me ticking along and I seemed to be seeing the ball like it was a lot bigger than it was," Bates said. "I didn't know about too many records. I knew my own highest score (122 against India) and that was about it. I was told to hit sixes and keep my head still, so that was easy to concentrate on. "It's a huge honour and to do it (New Zealand record) at the World Cup is pretty special. I really enjoyed the day." Her only blemish was on 122 when Nain Abidi dropped a tracer bullet at square leg. But with a double-century in her sights, Bates was caught on the long-on boundary. Bates said the India innings boosted her flagging confidence as New Zealand eye an England rematch at North Sydney Oval. England - who suffered their first defeat against Australia today - beat the White Ferns by 31 runs in their previous meeting, with captain Charlotte Edwards dominating. "We've all been looking forward to (England) and we just wanted to get this game out of the way," Bates said. "We lost to them but the girls are really up for a huge challenge. If we can build partnerships and put on big runs I think we have the bowling attack to finish it off." Coach Gary Stead hailed Bates' "special innings" but admitted it was difficult to take much out of today's walkover. It would at least ensure confidence was high after back-to-back wins. - NZPA

India out of ICC Women's WC despite win over West Indies India defeated West Indies by eight-wickets but could not get a place in the summit-clash of the ICC Women's cricket World Cup. More... India out of ICC Women's WC despite win over West Indies Agencies Posted: Mar 19, 2009 at 1157 hrs IST Sydney: India defeated West Indies comprehensively by eight-wickets in Sydney on Thursday but the result was not good enough to ensure them a place in Sunday's summit-clash of the ICC Women's cricket World Cup. The Indians, who had a slim chance of making it to the final show down, were dealt a severe blow with Australia tilting their fate by posting a eight-wicket win over England in another Super Six match on Thursday. For progressing to the final, India needed to beat the West Indies on Thursday and hoped that New Zealand go down to Pakistan and England beat Australia in the respective Super Six matches. India, however, got a chance to make amends for the disappointment as the win over West Indies has ensured them a place in the third-place playoff match against Australia on Saturday with both the teams automatically qualifying for the next World Cup. Chasing a timid target of 84 at the Bankstown Oval in Sydney, the Indians romped home with 193 balls to spare with opener Sulakshana Naik (39 0ff 48) and in-form Mithali Raj (34 off 41) doing the bulk of the scoring. Earlier, West Indian skipper Merissa Aguilleira's decision to bat first backfired as right-arm spinner Priyanka Roy (4/14) recorded her career-best figures to run through the West Indian batting order after Amita Sharma (2/14) and Rumeli Dhar (1/16) did the early damage

Demoralised India meet Australia in 3rd place playoff Smarting from the failure to reach the final of the ICC Women's World Cup, a demoralised India will take on an equally dejected Australia in the third/fourth-place play-off at Bankstown Oval here on Saturday. More... Demoralised India meet Australia in 3rd place playoff Sydney (PTI): Smarting from the failure to reach the final of the ICC Women's World Cup, a demoralised India will take on an equally dejected Australia in the third/fourth-place play-off at Bankstown Oval here on Saturday. The Super Six stage defeat against New Zealand put paid to India's hopes for a place in Sunday's final and the 2005 finalists now play for pride against the hosts. Considering they are the defending champions, Australia's fate was worse as they could not recover from their Super Six stage defeat against India, something they would like to avenge when Karen Rolton's side takes on Jhulan Goswami and her teammates. Despite their failure to reach the final, India at least return with the solace that by virtue of finishing in the top four, they -- along with England, New Zealand and Australia -- have automatically qualified for the 2013 World Cup at home. India captain Jhulan Goswami was almost in tears after the loss against New Zealand and admitted it might be the last campaign for many of her teammates
