Australia belt England in World T20 final, claiming fourth crown

Australia has won its fourth women's World T20 crown after completing a comprehensive 8-wicket victory over England.

Captain Meg Lanning (28 from 29 balls) and Ashleigh Gardner (33 from 26) combined for 62 runs to see Australia to their target with 29 balls to spare.

Australia was always in control during the chase, after being set a relatively modest 106 to win, after bowling England out in its final over.

More to come.
