Beaumont hits 49 as England beat Australia in Women’s World Cup

Kent captain Tammy Beaumont top-scored with 49 as England overcame Australia in the Women’s World Cup to make it four wins on the bounce and take them one step nearer the semi-finals in front of a crowd of over 4,000 at Bristol.

Katherine Brunt was awarded Player of the Match for her innings of 45 and also took 2-42 as England put the squeeze on Australia to restrict them to 256-8, three short of their target.

Left-arm spinner Alex Hartley had earlier impressed with a spell of 2/31 off 10 overs which included the wickets of Beth Mooney and Meg Lanning.

England’s next match will take place at Derby on Wednesday July 12, against Australia’s trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand.
