Catches dropped or taken have been a huge difference between the teams.

Dean and Ecclestone doing really well to contain the batters. 2 or 3 an over won’t do it for SA.

bit of a disappointing meek capitulation in the end, never mind, SA had a good run and had some really good wins.

Eng will have to do something special to topple the Aussies, hopefully the final will be competitive and entertaining.

Pleased for the England women. Started poorly this tournament but played into form and good fortune.

What are their chances against Oz? Not favourable I assume.

They've already defied the odds by making the final, so I hope they go to win the lot.

SA have been very good throughout the tournament, and had some really good wins in close matches. I think losing their two openers so quickly when having to chase such a big score really knocked the stuffing out of them today.

Fantastic bowling by Ecclestone again. 6 for 36 today, and I think a total of 20 wickets during this World Cup is pretty special.

England will have to be even better on Sunday to have a chance against Aus.

FYI - The Women's WC final is going to be on Sky Showcase and their Youtube channel - so you won't need a subscription to watch it.

Should be a good final.

Two wickets in the over.

Australia are collapsing and are now just 318-3.

An impressive century by Sciver on the losing side.

And that’s it.

At least England gave it a go, even if they fell well short in the end.

Incredible that the two best knocks come in the final from Healy and Sciver; also two of the top three World Cup knocks of all time.
