AUS v ENG, ICC WWC 2009, Super 6: Australians beat England but miss World Cup final

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.
