Cricket: White Ferns make Twenty20 final

The New Zealand women's cricket team has cruised into the final of the World Twenty20 in England.

The White Ferns have thumped India by 52 runs at Trent Bridge.

After winning the toss, New Zealand posted 145 for five with Aimee Watkins smashing an unbeaten 89 off 58 balls with ten fours and two sixes.

Watkins has been in great form and says everything is clicking for her.

She describes the conditions as great and the fields they are playing on are top quality so it makes it easier to bat on.

As for the captaincy, she says that has put more responsibility on her.

India could only manage 93 for nine in reply.

The second semifinal between England and Australia is tonight.
