It was an outstanding performance from the Australians all right, as they first bowled England out for 105 and then got to the target with 4.5 overs and eight wickets in hand.

There were words of praise from a legendary English cricketer too …
Huge congrats @SouthernStars. Calm & focused Lanning at the helm in the chase and truly deserved the win. Lots to be proud of for @englandcricket still and great to see youngsters standing up at different times during the tournament. #WWT20
