...CHASE BEGINS...
Right then, Pakistan Women have Mount Everest to climb and looking at the way they performed with the bat against West Indies Women, it looks only a matter of time before they suffer yet another defeat. Still, in cricket, anything can happen. Stay tuned...
Danni Wyatt (59 off 33 balls) comes up for a quick word. The English opener says she really enjoyed batting out in the middle and shares that the wicket is terrific for batting. Adds that this is the way they want to play going ahead in the tournament. She mentions that the team is looking to come out all guns blazing right at the top and just be a bit sensible in the middle with which deliveries to smash and which to respect. She closes by saying that it is a really good total and a lot of credit goes to Natalie Sciver as it seems she is looking at the cricket ball as big as a beach ball and smashing them all over the park for fun.
There is nothing to write home about Pakistan Women's bowling which was out-and-out poor. Every bowler suffered and looked clueless. 124 runs came in the last ten 10 overs and that tells us about the carnage that was created.
We have witnessed carnage with the bat! The only reason to bat first was to gain some batting practice and England Women will be more than satisfied with this outing. They set a tempo at the beginning despite losing two wickets and the pair of Danni Wyatt and Natalie Sciver took it forward. Both batted with a lot of class and freedom to raise a quickfire stand and after the departure of Danni Wyatt, it was the turn of Amy Jones to partner Natalie. They hammered 95 runs together at an outstanding rate and steered England Women to the highest-ever total in ICC Women's T20 World Cup.
OUT! A wicket goes down on the final ball. Slower one, on a length around off, Amy Jones turns and heaves it across the line. Her shot though lacks the desired power and Tuba Hassan takes a juggling catch at deep mid-wicket. England Women end of an imposing 213 for 5.
Full and wide around off, Amy Jones drives this to extra cover for nothing.

SIX! No respite from either end as Amy Jones has slogged this out of the park for a maximum. Short in length around middle, Amy Jones smacks it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. 200 comes up, the first-ever in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup!
