I didnt watch their round robin match but seeing the scorecard, do the Poms have a chance?

Yes. England's bowling in particular has been very good. Average run rate by opposition teams has been 3.86, compared to Australia conceding 4.17 runs per over (and Australia often had 7 bowlers available).

notes Australia's strong batting, and also England's strong bowling.

Looking forward to this

Looking forward to this

same.
the best 2 teams in the final and England are a real chance.
It should be a cracker.

 

[Santana]

England send in Australia to bat 1st

 

[k31th]

A pretty circumspect start.

 

[Santana]

Very quiet here for a final.

Ball hooping around. No wickets lost

 

[k31th]

Smart to take it pretty easy with Brunt and Shrubsole doing their usual swinging accuracy. Tough to score off these sorts of deliveries.

 

[Moonwatcher]

The Shrubster will keep it tight early.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I think you have to review that

Surprised they didn't review it.

Missing leg by a foot

Schrubby has been in a good paddock

Solid start for the Aussie girls here, Healy very watchful. Once the ball stops moving around this looks a good deck to make a big score one. England obviously chose to bowl first looking for early wickets. Great looking day weather wise in Kiwi land - for a change..!

 

[k31th]

lovely shot

 

[k31th]

beautiful straight drive from Healy

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Need to take Eccelstone down today

 

[k31th]

Haynes absolutely loves a short ball... Just pulls with great stability and poise

 

[deanc]

beautiful straight drive from Healy

The ball hooping around here for the bowlers, but it's early swing so not that hard to contend with. Geez, Haynes loves the pull shot..!

Note M Starc in the crowd supporting the better half..!

 

[DEVO]

With that boundary, Haynes should be the highest run scorer in a Women's WC series.

 

[jhong]

Decent crowd in .

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Finally a team smacks Dean’s pies

 

[k31th]

big inside edge... horrible review

 

[cats_09]

Isn't it a pretty clear inside edge - the ball moved a bloody long way after hitting the bat, so not sure why there was multiple replays to check that
