ENG-W vs WI-W Match 22 Results

9:24 PM IST Signing off - A double-header awaits us on Thursday, June 25. First up, India take on Bangladesh in Manchester at 1.30 pm GMT, before the Netherlands face South Africa in Bristol at 5.30 pm GMT. With Australia all but through to the semifinals, both matches could prove pivotal in shaping the race for the second qualification spot from the group, with India, South Africa and Bangladesh all still in contention. As always, you can join us earlier for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye.

9:17 PM IST The captain of England Women - Charlie Dean says that she is feeling really great, having qualified for the semi-finals. She continues that the batters did their job really well, starting from Danni Wyatt-Hodge to Alice Capsey to Heather Knight, everyone played their role. On her bowling performance, she comments that she is never satisfied with her performance because she always feels she can do better. About the dropped catches, she thinks that the fielding is not an issue. However, she backs her teammates and praises them for putting up a great shift on a hot, sunny day. On Nat Sciver-Brunt's fitness, Dean says she does not have any update to share at the moment, but she hopes Nat is back in the playing XI soon.

9:15 PM IST The skipper of West Indies Women - Hayley Matthews says it was extremely hot out in the middle, but does not believe choosing to bowl first was the wrong decision. She feels England started well with the bat and admits her side missed their lengths at key moments. More than anything, though, she believes West Indies let themselves down in the field. On playing at Lord's, Matthews says it was a special occasion, noting that for some players it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play at such a historic venue. Speaking about her caught-behind dismissal, she says she did hear a noise but does not believe she hit the ball. Feels there was a gap between bat and ball on the replays, but adds that the umpire's decision has to be respected and accepted. Matthews also provides an update on Stafanie Taylor, sharing that Taylor experienced chest tightness and difficulty breathing. That forced her to leave the field during England's innings, and she was subsequently unable to bat.

9:12 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Danni Wyatt-Hodge has been given the award for her entertaining knock of 65 runs from 42 balls. On being asked about the reason behind her exceptional performance, she says that she just came out expressing herself. Adds that she tried to play correct shots and it worked very well for her. Mentions that she always tries to pick up the gaps. About the weather, she says that it was a very hot day, similar to what they experienced in Dubai a couple of years back. She says they batted really well and came out all guns blazing. On her run-out dismissal, she says that they will talk about it before the next game so that they can avoid such incidents in the upcoming matches.

9:11 PM IST A chase that never took off - Unlike the West Indies pacers, who were a bit too short early on, England's new-ball attack hit their straps straight away. Hayley Matthews fell to a contentious caught-behind decision, while Deandra Dottin briefly threatened to kickstart the chase but could not last long enough to make a decisive impact. After her departure, the innings hit a roadblock as England's bowlers maintained their discipline through the middle overs and gradually pushed the target out of reach. Chinelle Henry's maiden T20I fifty helped reduce the margin of defeat, which could yet prove important should net run rate come into play in deciding the final semifinal spot from this group.
