Captain Heather Knight turned the star of the match, reaching 78 off of 45 balls and hitting two boundaries in the Super Over to secure the win.

England posted a strong 156-4, but world champions Australia forced a Super Over with Beth Mooney hitting 65 off 45.

"It was an amazing game of cricket," said Knight. "I thought we'd won it then I thought we'd lost it, and it's credit to Australia for taking it to a Super Over."
