England blow away Windies to reach final
13 April 2012
England thrashed West Indies by 146 runs in Sydney today to book a place in the Women's World Cup final.
Charlotte Edwards's side, unbeaten in 17 matches, are in the 22 March final, where their opponents look likely to be New Zealand, for the first time since 1993.
Sarah Taylor top scored on 78 and added 134 for the first wicket with Caroline Atkins (50). Claire Taylor hit a rapid 65 as England made an impressive 236 for eight after winning the toss.
In reply, the Windies were skittled for 90 with seamer Laura Marsh taking three for 17.
