England swept into their first World Cup final for 27 years as the hosts crushed Australia by eight wickets today to book a clash with New Zealand in Sunday's title match..

Eoin Morgan's side ended Australia's bid to retain the World Cup in ruthless fashion at Edgbaston, dismissing their old rivals for 223 and then powering to victory in 32.1 overs thanks to Jason Roy's blistering 85.

England will head to Lord's bidding to win the 50-over World Cup for the first time, with 2015 runners-up New Zealand, who they thrashed by 119 runs in the group stage, standing between Morgan's men and the trophy.

England, who were in the semi-finals for the first time since 1992, have lost all three of their World Cup finals.(AFP)

The money England spends in its cricket team is multiple times more than what Sri Lanka can afford. Yet we won the World Cup and England has never won.

England played magnificent cricket. The selectors had picked the squad 4 years ago and it had paid rich dividends, no politicans are involved so they have a free hand.

Top three cricket playing countries who attempted to dominate ICC cricket get into semis and hosts enter final - nice script.
