LONDON, (Reuters) - England’s women added the  Twenty20 World Cup to their 50-over crown when they beat New  Zealand by six wickets in the final at Lord’s yesterday.

England bowler Katherine Brunt, sporting a black eye after a  ball from team mate Jenny Gunn struck her in practice, proved  the match winner, finishing with figures of 3-6 as New Zealand  were bowled out for 85.

Gunn and Nicky Shaw chipped in with two wickets apiece as  New Zealand — England’s victims in the 50-over World Cup final  in Sydney in March — struggled to make headway, with only four  players making double figures.

Claire Taylor then steered England home rattling off 39 from  32 balls, with the hosts coasting to victory with three overs to  spare.

Captain Charlotte Edwards told Sky Sports: “I didn’t think  it could get better than Sydney (winning the 50-over title) but  it has today.

“It was a good toss to win and it was our best bowling and  fielding performance of the tournament today. I’m glad it came  in the final.”
