Inaugural tournament winners, England marched into tomorrow’s final of the Women’s World T20  after brushing aside India by eight wickets in the second semifinal at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua yesterday.

They will play Australia who trounced the West Indies earlier in the day.

With the aroma of barbecue engulfing the ground and dancers and loud music entertaining the 10,000 in attendance, India lost their final eight wickets for just 23 runs as they crawled to 112 all out in 19.3 overs to which England responded with a commanding 116-2 in 17.1 overs with Amy Jones and Natalie Sciver stroking half centuries.
