Danni Wyatt and Sophie Ecclestone star as England reach World Cup final with 137-run win

Danni Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley and Sophie Ecclestone were the stars of the show for England as they romped towards the final of the Women's Cricket World Cup with a 137-run win over South Africa.

Despite starting the tournament with three consecutive defeats and appearing to be on the brink of elimination, England secured a spot in the semi-finals with four wins in four before producing their most complete performance yet as they reached the final. After losing three early wickets, Wyatt powered a masterful 129 off just 125 balls to help them post a formidable total of 293.

Wyatt began the tournament batting down at number six, with Lauren Winfield-Hill preferred as Tammy Beaumont's opening partner. However, with Winfield-Hill continuing her struggles from the Women's Ashes, Wyatt was promoted up the order after the first two games.
