Sciver Brunt 75 sends England to World Cup Final

Available for over a year

England are into Sunday's T20 World Cup final against Australia with a comfortable 40-run victory against South Africa at The Oval. Under the lights in front of a record crowd in south London, England recovered from 23-3 in the fourth over, to set a target of 170 with returning captain Nat Sciver-Brunt hitting 75 from 47 deliveries. Heather Knight scored 58 from 47 balls as the pair shared a fourth wicket stand of 133. The South Africa reply began strongly with an opening partnership of 43 for the first wicket but with Lauren Bell and Charlie Dean taking two victims each, Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith and Freya Kemp one each, South Africa's hopes were snuffed out.
