West Indies knock England out of Women's T20 World Cup


Qiana Joseph's constrained rebuilding as an opener conveyed West Indies a spot in the Ladies' T20 World Cup elimination round interestingly, since the competition was played in the Caribbean in 2018. The 23-year-old left-hander beat 52 off 38 in a century stand with her commander Hayley Matthews (50 off 38) and assisted the 2016 bosses with pursuing down the objective of 141 with 12 balls and six wickets in excess. Britain's most memorable loss of the competition, and their first to West Indies in this organization in 14 games tracing all the way back to that 2018 version, finished their contribution in the opposition while South Africa affirmed their compartment in the last four by excellence of a superior run-rate. Joseph was scheduled to bat at No.6 in West Indies' past game against Bangladesh, yet with veteran Stafanie Taylor passing up a great opportunity of this vital conflict with injury, the left-hander was reestablished to the highest point of the request. She burned through brief period to leave an imprint and matched her regarded batting accomplice went for shot, venture for big business. After Matthews looted 14 off Lauren Chime's opening over, Joseph scored 11 off 5 off Nat Sciver-Brunt. This included two limits and a respite from substitute Sophia Dunkley - the primary in a line of dropped discovers in a trashy handling show by Britain. Joseph compensated for that early demonstration of kindness by hurling Charlie Dignitary over mid-wicket for a six in the following over. The accomplished Sophie Ecclestone came into the assault straightaway and was dismantled for a limit each by the West Indies openers. However, between those limits, Joseph was dropped once more, this time by Alice Capsey. At the point when Matthews struck Senior member for three fours, West Indies had enrolled the most noteworthy PowerPlay complete - 67 - of this season, unexpectedly marvellous the bar set by their rivals before in the competition against Scotland. Albeit just 22 runs came in the initial four overs post the PowerPlay, at 89 for no-misfortune after 10 overs, West Indies were well coming. Joseph got to her most memorable T20I 50 off only 34 balls, unexpectedly the quickest against Britain in this configuration. It might have appeared as though Matthews was vigorously outscored in the organization, yet she got to her fourteenth T20I fifty just three balls more slow than her young batting accomplice. Together the pair added 102 in 12.1 overs and albeit the two hitters fell inside five wads of one another, West Indies actually had Deandra Dottin to smoothen out any creating stress lines. The veteran all-rounder, who switched her worldwide retirement in front of this competition, struck two fours and as a large number in a 19-ball 27 preceding Aaliyah Alleyne saw the group home with a couple of limits, igniting euphoric festivals in the maroon corner. Britain, who were supposed to close the hole to Australia in the development to this competition, will have numerous things to mourn from the game, not least their handling. They likewise didn't cover themselves in that frame of mind with the bat in the wake of being approached to set a score on a decent batting surface in Dubai. They scored only two limits in the initial six overs, as a glaring difference to West Indies' 11 fours and two sixes in this stage. Where West Indies' openers pillaged 67 out of six overs, Britain crept to 34 for 2 in spite of West Indies likewise cushioning their lines in the field toward the beginning of the game. The two excusals, that of Danielle Wyatt-Hodge and the returning Alice Capsey, had Dottin's engraving on top of it. She excused the previous by jumping forward to finish a sharp catch at in reverse point while Capsey was run out with a brilliant pickup-and-toss in one smooth movement. It denoted the third progressive game in which West Indies had taken something like two wickets in the PowerPlay. They rode on that consistency by hitting with the main bundle of the post-PowerPlay stage. Afy Fletcher got Maia Bouchier miscuing a swipe across the line and the top-edge was effortlessly held by Qiana Joseph. It united two of Britain's most-experienced players, Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt, together. Furthermore, promptly there was a change to the beat of the innings. After Sciver-Brunt scooped a limit off Alleyne, Knight bound a couple of drives through additional cover for limits to rush to 12 off 7. West Indies understood the danger presented by Knight's quick beginning and maybe that drove them into inspecting a LBW call against her just for Ultra Edge to show an edge. That left them without a survey against Sciver-Brunt in Matthews' twelfth over - a choice that would have gone in support of themselves. Notwithstanding, West Indies had fortune leaning toward them in alternate ways. Having bursted away to 21 off 13, Knight limped off with a calf injury and didn't return until the end of the game. It was upto Sciver-Brunt, presently expecting captaincy, to direct Britain to a serious score. While she dug in to bat profound toward one side, West Indies worked on the other. Fletcher tracked down plunge and go to evoke a miscued cut shot from Amy Jones that expanded to in reverse point. She ought to have had Senior member off the extremely next ball yet one more drop get implied Fletcher needed to sit tight for her third wicket. She ultimately represented Dignitary in her last over to get done with phenomenal figures of 3 for 21. Britain figured out how to press out 31 runs from the last three overs, the eighteenth and twentieth bringing 14 and 13 runs individually as Sciver-Brunt got to 50 years. She batted through to agree with her stance to 141, which as it turned out was quite far from standard against a twofold barrelled top-request attack.
