The eventual victors were the2010 championsAustralia, who beat pre-tournament favourites[2]England by four runs in the final, a match which came down to the final ball.[3] England captainCharlotte Edwards blamed this defeat on a "lack of discipline" in her side,[4] whilstTest Match Special analystEbony Rainford-Brent cited underachieving bowlers and England's inability to rotate the strike.[4]
