Australians ecstatic, English heartbroken

Australia had won the 2010 Women's World Twenty20 final against New Zealand by three runs. Two years later, they won the final against England by four runs. This time though, they had it all easy against England, winning comprehensively by six wickets.
It was hyped up as the battle between the two evenly-matched top sides in women's cricket. But contrary to all expectations, it turned into a mere cakewalk for Australia, thanks to some tight bowling at the top from Sarah Coyte, which stifled the England's batting prowess.
Coyte bowled a brilliant spell of three for 16 and accounted for the two best batsmen -- Charlotte Edwards and Sarah Taylor -- pretty cheaply.
The 23-year-old pacer believes it was down to her experience of bowling at the death, keeping things tight; which really helped her get the better of the English batsmen.
“I've always bowled at the death and it's something I'm really proud of. It was nice to be able to execute those things today,” said Sarah, the player-of-the-final at the post match press conference.
Australia had begun the tournament with a nine-run defeat against New Zealand, but since then they have looked every bit as champions. Yesterday they probably gave their most complete performance against a pretty evenly-matched side.
Skipper Meg Lanning, who scored a valuable 44 runs in 30 deliveries in the final and topped the run-getters' chart with 257 runs, felt their performance in the final was impeccable.
“It was great to come out here and play a pretty perfect game. We built around the tournament pretty well (since the defeat against New Zealand). When we came into the final, we had a lot of players in good form which helped”, said Lanning.
For her opposite number Charlotte Edwards, it was heartbreak for the second time. The 34-year-old skipper had been the mainstay of England batting in the four editions of the tournament. She was the player-of-the-tournament last time around, this time too she delivered with the bat up to the final, but failed to do so in the big match.
“I think they bowled well up front, we didn't get as many in the Powerplay as we'd like. Then we got going again, then lost three quick wickets. Sarah's (Taylor) dismissal was quite crucial, then Heather (Knight) followed and Lydia (Greenway), which are three of the backbone of our middle order,” said Edwards.
Edwards though gave full credit to Australia for their clinical display and felt that they are the deserved champions.
“Really disappointing performance from us but the credit has to go to Australia. I think they bowled exceptionally well, we didn't really have any answers with bat or ball and they're deserved champions,” said the England skipper.
