How England performed
England began their defence of the Women's World Cup in New Zealand in 2022 with three successive defeats, but recovered to reach the final under captain Heather Knight. Australia won the opener in Hamilton by 12 runs after making 310/3, West Indies won by 7 runs in Dunedin, and South Africa chased 236 to win by 3 wickets at Mount Maunganui. England's first win came at the same ground, by 4 wickets against India, who were dismissed for 134. A 1-wicket win over hosts New Zealand at Eden Park followed, along with comfortable victories over Pakistan by 9 wickets and Bangladesh by 100 runs.
In the semi-final at Hagley Oval, England made 293/8 and bowled South Africa out for 156 to win by 137 runs. The final against Australia at the same ground was beyond them: Australia made 356/5 and England were dismissed for 285 in 43.4 overs, losing by 71 runs. England finished as runners-up with five wins and four defeats.
