Highlights from Dubai as England were eliminated from the Women’s T20 World Cup after falling to a six-wicket loss at the hands of West Indies
England were dumped out of the Women’s T20 World Cup following a tough six-wicket loss to a sensational West Indies.
West Indies were set 142 to win and progress to the semi-finals. Captain Hayley Matthews (50 off 38) in her 100th T20I and Qiana Joseph (52 off 38) played with electric intent, taking their side to 89-0 after 10 overs before their contributions ended with their side on 104-2.
With 40 runs still required, Deandra Dottin (27 from 19), Shemaine Campbelle (5), and Aaliyah Alleyne (6 from 4) did what they needed to do and stayed calm under the pressure, Alleyne hitting the winning runs to leave West Indies jubilant and England reeling from the shock defeat.
England were left to rue a poor performance in the field, five opportunities for wickets going begging as they dropped catches throughout West Indies’ innings to finish third in Group B and fail to qualify for the semi-finals.
