England Women delivered a clinical all-round performance to thrash West Indies Women by nine wickets in the second T20I at Worcester, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, England's bowlers set the tone with disciplined lines and relentless pressure. Emily Arlott was the standout with sensational figures of 3 for 14 from her four overs, while Lauren Bell chipped in with 3 for 28.
The duo, along with contributions from Sophie Ecclestone and Sarah Glenn, ensured West Indies never found any rhythm with the bat.
Shemaine Campbelle top-scored for the visitors with a laborious 26 off 36 balls, while Shabika Gajnabi (22 off 29) offered some late resistance. However, the Caribbean side could only manage 81 for 9 in their 20 overs 바카라 a total far below par against a strong England line-up.
Chasing 82, England were briefly jolted when Zaida James dismissed Danni Wyatt-Hodge for a golden duck in the first over. But that was the only joy for West Indies as Nat Sciver-Brunt and Sophia Dunkley put on an unbroken 82-run stand to take England home with 10.4 overs to spare.
Sciver-Brunt was at her fluent best, smashing an unbeaten 55 off just 30 deliveries, laced with seven fours and a six. Dunkley provided steady support, finishing unbeaten on 24 off 25.
With this commanding win, England have sealed the series and will now eye a whitewash in the final T20I. For West Indies, it바카라s back to the drawing board as they aim to salvage pride and gain momentum ahead of the upcoming ODI series.
