SYDNEY, Australia- The West Indies Women suffered a 46-run defeat to England Women in their third Group B match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup at the Sydney Showground in Sydney.
Needing a victory in this match to keep their hopes alive of progressing to the semifinals, the team looked energized and agile while fielding first. England won the toss and elected to bat first, but Shakera Selman had other ideas how to get the West Indies on top of the match.
In the first over, Selman had Tammy Beaumont trapped Leg Before Wicket for a duck, then was involved in a spectacular catch to get rid of the dangerous Danni Wyatt and effected the runout of England captain Heather Knight. By the fourteenth over, England were 90/3, but the English batters pulled it back in the last five overs, with 46 runs coming from them.
