AFP, BRISTOL, EnglandCaptain Heather Knight said England are yet to reach their best in the Women’s World Cup, despite beating South Africa by two wickets in Bristol, England, on Tuesday to reach the final. Two-time World Cup winners England will find out who they play in Sunday’s sold-out final at Lord’s in London when reigning champions Australia take on India in Derby today. “We haven’t put in the perfect performance together,” Knight said afterward, acknowledging there were areas England needed to improve in ahead of the final. That England were in a position to win the match after such a collapse was thanks to the third-wicket partnership of 78 from Knight and Taylor, who returned to the England fold for this tournament after a year-long break from the game. However, Knight admitted England could now allow themselves to think about playing at the “home of cricket.”“It’s special,” Knight added, reflecting on England reaching their seventh World Cup final.
