England continued their unbeaten run in the Women’s T20 World Cup by beating West Indies. Here’s how the points tables look like after the result.
Chinelle Henry gave the West Indies a dream start, removing Amy Jones in the first over of the encounter at Lord's. Sophia Dunkley soon followed her, but Danni Wyatt-Hodge put her hands up this time, leading the way with a 42-ball 65. Her 66-run stand with Alice Capsey brought England back before Heather Knight finished strongly, scoring 43 off 26 to take the home side to 186-7 at Lord’s.
Hayley Matthews was dismissed caught behind in controversial fashion off Linsey Smith after England reviewed the on-field not-out decision. The UltraEdge showed a spike despite there being a gap between bat and ball, but the third umpire still adjudged Matthews out. Charlie Dean had Deandra Dottin caught in the deep on the last delivery of the poewerplay, and the West Indies chase couldn’t recover. They eventually finished at 148-5, losing by 38 runs.
