ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2009
England v Sri Lanka at Canberra
ENG v SL, ICC WWC 2009: Taylor ton sets up easy England win
Mar 07, 2009
Claire Taylor struck a superb century to help England cruise to a 100-run victory over Sri Lanka in Canberra on the opening day of the Women's World Cup.
The 33-year-old's eighth ODI ton - 101 from 95 balls - and a more pedestrian 50 from opener Caroline Atkins helped England post 277 for five after being asked to bat first.
The Sri Lankans were then limited to 177 for seven from their 50 overs, Laura Marsh the pick of the bowlers with three for 31 from her 10 overs - with Holly Colvin taking one for 33 from nine.
After being asked to bat first, openers Atkins and Sarah Taylor (38) got England off to a steady start with partnership of 80. Atkins and Taylor then came together and shared a 72-run stand for the second wicket.
Captain Charlotte Edwards (27) and Lydia Greenway (32 not out) also did their bit to guide England to an impressive total.
Sri Lanka's response started solidly enough as they advanced to 48 before losing the first wicket, but from then on England did not look back.
Suwini de Alwis top-scored with 37, but Sri Lanka never looked like getting close.
