England will stand in the way of Australia's remorseless pursuit of a seventh Women's T20 World Cup crown when the old rivals meet in Sunday's (Monday AEST) final at Lord's.
The hosts eased through the second semi-final at the Oval, overpowering South Africa by 40 runs on Thursday (Friday AEST).
England's stars were captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight, who guided their team away from a perilous 3-23 with a mighty match-winning fourth-wicket stand of 133.
