Defending champions England have been knocked
out of the Women's World Cup despite a 15-run win
over New Zealand.
.
West Indies beat Australia earlier to render England's
result meaningless and put the Caribbean side
through to meet the Aussies in Sunday's final.
Sarah Taylor (88) helped
England to 266-6 but the Kiwis
looked well placed thanks to
captain Suzie Bates (79) and
Amy Satterthwaite (103) putting
on 134.
.
However, England took late
wickets to leave New Zealand
short on 251-9.
.
England have paid the price for
two narrow defeats, the one-
wicket opening loss to Sri
Lanka in the group stages
and a two-run reverse
against Australia in the Super
Sixes.

I can't imagine how painful that would be for England. They woudn't have epected this to happen at all
