ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2009
New Zealand v England at Sydney
NZ v ENG, ICC WWC 2009, Super 6: Edwards leads England to another victory
Mar 14, 2009
England's 31-run win over New Zealand in their opening Super Six match at the ICC Women's World Cup means they are the only unbeaten team in the tournament.
Captain Charlotte Edwards was the cornerstone of England's success with bat and ball in Sydney, top-scoring with 57 from 79 balls at number four in 201 for five and then taking four for 37 as New Zealand were bowled out for 170 in 48.4 overs. England chose to bat first and were indebted to Edwards, who shared an important fifth-wicket stand of 62 with Beth Morgan.
New Zealand's reply rarely looked on course. A hard-working half-century at the top of the order from Edwards' opposite number Haidee Tiffen (53) gave them a chance, but wickets kept falling in clusters - and after Tiffen was seventh out, to Edwards, England had the match in safe keeping.
Despite her own outstanding performance, Edwards insisted England were strong in all departments.
