Heather Knight has said she takes “a lot of pride” in her England side, despite their defeat by Australia in the World Cup final in Christchurch on Sunday after Nat Sciver hit an unbeaten century to take England to within 72 runs of their mammoth 357-run target.
“The character and the resilience in the group to turn it around after those first three games when we were in a pretty tough situation shows volumes about this group and the people that we’ve got in it, and the staff that we’ve got, to get here with a chance of winning,” Knight said.
