The eventual victors were the 2010 champions Australia, who beat pre-tournament favourites[2] England by four runs in the final, a match which came down to the final ball.[3] England captain Charlotte Edwards blamed this defeat on a "lack of discipline" in her side,[4] whilst Test Match Special analyst Ebony Rainford-Brent cited underachieving bowlers and England's inability to rotate the strike.[4]
With a total of 172 runs at an average of 43.00, Edwards was named Player of the Tournament.[5]
Following warm-up matches, the eight teams were divided into two groups where matches were played in a round-robin format. The two best placed teams from each group progressed to the two-round knock-out stage, whilst the eliminated teams played each other for qualification for the 2014 tournament.
