It's time for the Presentation Ceremony...
Earlier in the game, West Indies Women made early inroads after a decent start from England, reducing them to a precarious 34/3. Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight then steadied the ship, building a solid partnership by capitalizing on any loose deliveries. However, England suffered a setback when Heather was forced to retire hurt due to what appeared to be a calf strain, triggering a mini-collapse at the other end. Despite the pressure, Sciver-Brunt held her nerve, reaching a well-earned half-century and guiding England to a competitive total of 141. For West Indies, Afy Fletcher led the charge with three wickets, while Hayley Matthews provided crucial support with two scalps.
Very few would have imagined that England Women, entering this game on the back of three consecutive victories, could be knocked out of the tournament. But such is the unpredictability of the game! At a new venue, they struggled to find their rhythm with the ball, and their fielding shortcomings proved costly. The combination of missed chances and a lack of cohesion ultimately spelt disaster for a team that had shown so much promise throughout. Adding to their woes was Heather Knight’s injury, which came at a critical time and left England short-handed when they needed her the most.
With their shoulders slumped and several missed opportunities weighing heavily on them, nothing seemed to go right for England Women in the field or with the ball. However, Nat Sciver-Brunt returned to the attack and finally gave England their much-needed breakthrough by dismissing Qiana Joseph, soon followed by Sarah Glenn, who claimed the wicket of the other set batter, Hayley Matthews. Although both openers fell after crafting well-deserved half-centuries, England briefly glimpsed hope as they piled on some tight overs, creeping a few nerves back into the new batters at the crease. Yet, the veteran Deandra Dottin was determined to ensure that wasn’t the case, unleashing her signature free-flowing shots to stabilize the innings. With her explosive batting, she propelled the West Indies past the anxiety, a momentum that was ultimately sealed by the calm presence of Aaliyah Alleyne!
Chasing a big target of 142 runs, the West Indies roared into action with a spectacular start. The opening pair of Hayley Matthews and Qiana Joseph wasted no time, unleashing their full aggression and making the England bowlers pay for any loose deliveries. Qiana, in particular, was relentless, charging from the outset with a fierce determination to keep the pressure on. Although a couple of opportunities slipped through the cracks, Qiana Joseph ensured England felt the sting of their mistakes. The duo formed a powerful partnership, blitzing through the powerplay and racking up a staggering 67 runs in just six overs that broke the back of the chase.
Pure joy erupts in the West Indian camp! England is in utter distraught! The West Indies have effortlessly dismantled a massive target, reaffirming their status as a powerhouse in world cricket! Take a bow, Qiana Joseph and Hayley Matthews, who unleashed a storm with their explosive batting! The West Indies seal this virtual quarter-final game in style with a commanding 6-wicket victory, cruising into the semifinals with 2 overs to spare and sending England packing from the tournament. What a remarkable performance!
