Australia women dished out a clinical performance to notch up a comprehensive eight-wicket win over England women in the T20 game of the tri-series. The dead rubber turned out to be a one-sided affair with the Southern Starts chasing down a meagre 97-run target in 11.3 overs to avenge their previous game eight-wicket loss to England.

Earlier, Kimmince (3-20) was the pick of the Australian bowlers and she was superbly aided by Jess Jonassen (2-21) and pacer Megan Schutt (2-13) as they bundled out England for 96 to set up the win.The two visiting teams had already booked a place in the final to be played on Saturday after India were knocked out following three losses.

Chasing the target 97, Australia had a bad start with opener Alyssa Healy (6) falling cheaply. They also lost Elyse Villani (1) early in the third over and were struggling at 12/2. But then Ellyse Perry (47 not out in 32 balls) and skipper Meg Lanning (41 not out in 28 balls) not only steered the team out of trouble, but also romped them home in their 85-run third wicket unbeaten stand. Kimmince took her third wicket after she castled Danielle Hazell (0) as England were eventually bundled out for 96.
