Sciver and spinners send England into semis

Nat Sciver and England’s spinners combined to devastating effect as victory over West Indies secured their place in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 semi-finals.

All-rounder Sciver picked up from where she left off to score her third half-century of the tournament, helping England to post 143 for five on a tricky track.

West Indies’ response never got going with Lee-Ann Kirby top-scoring with 20 at the Sydney Showground on Sunday. That was largely thanks to the spin trio of Sophie Ecclestone (three for seven), Sarah Glenn (two for 16) and Mady Villiers (one for 30), helping dismiss West Indies for 97 to win by 46 runs.

Scores:

England 143-5 (20) (Nat Sciver 57, Danni Wyatt 29; Anisa Mohammed 1-23)

West Indies 97 (17.1) (Lee-Ann Kirby 20; Sophie Ecclestone 3-7, Sarah Glenn 2-16)
