Dominant Australia crush England in T20 World Cup final

Australia's women rule the cricketing firmament once again, with Sophie Molineux's team being hailed one of the best ever as they annexed the T20 World Cup in glorious fashion for a seventh time by outclassing hosts England at Lord's.

In front of a sell-out crowd of nearly 29,000 on what Molineux hailed as a red-letter day for world cricket, her side roared to a wholly one-sided seven-wicket victory, fuelled by a brilliant century partnership between Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield.

It helped turn their pursuit on Sunday (Monday AEST) of England's sub-par 4-150 into a cakewalk as opener Mooney proved her matchless big-game temperament once more with a fourth successive half-century in a global final, powering to 64 off 49 balls before they breezed to their target on 3-153 with 17 balls to spare.
