World Twenty20: A tale of two England semi-finals
As the women lost dramatically to Australia, the men overcame New Zealand to reach the finals

IT WAS a mixed day for English cricket as England Women fell just short of reaching the World Twenty20 final while hours later, the men produced a brilliant display to win in the semi-finals.

Charlotte Edwards and her side needed 13 off the final over to beat Australia but Rene Farrell bowled an excellent over as England failed to muster a single boundary.

It was a gutting way to exit the tournament, especially after restricting Australia to 132.
