England retained the O70s World Cup they won in 2024 with a 15 run win over Australia at the magnificent Hagley Oval in Christchurch New Zealand.
England were put in and Jim Phillips and Chris Evans added 183 in 30 overs for the first wicket.
England made 288/3 and in reply Australia were always behind the rate and finished 15 runs short despite a 115 unbeaten partnership in 13 overs between Gary Budden and Greg Stagg.
The tournament started on the 18th of February and featured England, USA, India, Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and a Rest of the World team.
Each team played each other in a round robin format with the top two going through to the final.
Australia won every game in the group stage and the only group match England lost was to Australia.
Unfortunately, the rain did affect some of the games including the penultimate round of group games when New Zealand needed to beat England to have a chance of reaching the final
NZ were 51 for five off 23 overs when the rain came and the match was abandoned
The hosts finished 3rd on the same number of points as England but with a much inferior run rate
Canada and the USA both won 3 group matches
India with one win and Sri Lanka with no wins found the going quite tough
