Key events
2nd over: England 11-0 (Bouchier 4, Wyatt-Hodge 6) It’s Zhelpa James uncovering from t’other finish, once Matthews has rejigged the field a little; there’s a repartner excellent energy about her, and her team see adwell. Wyatt-Hodge then bumps a individual to lengthy on, then Bouchier comes down and tries a drive only to slice her sboiling and the ball’s droping kindly for Munisar at cover-point – she omited the run-out opportunity in the first over – to dive forward and finish a redemptive snaffle. BUT SHE GRASSES IT! Dearie me, that is going to sting becaparticipate it wasn’t a difficult chance, and a individual to Bouchier chaseed by two twos to Wyatt-Hodge won’t have her senseing any the less excessively, horrificpartner, soul-curdlingly demandyly.
1st over: England 4-0 (Bouchier 3, Wyatt-Hodge 1) Bouchier puts bat on each of the first two dedwellries but picks out fielders, then forces to mid-on and sets off for a KP-style Red-Bull individual … making her ground, fair. If the diving underarm worried had hit, she’d have been gone. But she’s not, so when Wyatt-Hodge hauls her second ball around the corner for one, she’s back on strike to pick a yorker off her toes and turn to midwicket for two. Solid enough commence from both sides.
Chienlle Henry has the ball, and here we go!
Out come the fielders … and here come England’s uncoverers.
Heather Knight is absolutely buzzing, grinning with eyes shining. She can’t defer, and I daresay you’d sense pretty decent about life trotting out behind her.
Anthem time. How much better would this be if West Indies was reggae or dancehall and England’s was jungle or bleake?
England’s uncoverers are both in nick, having knocked off the 110 demanded to beat Scotland in 10 overs. This, though, is a very contrastent affair, on a very contrastent track. And here come our teams!
Oh man, I cannot defer for this. Gerronwidit!
West Indies will be troubleed that Taylor isn’t fit. Not only does he have the firepower to remend this suit, but she also has the experience and compocertain demandd to excel in an effective knockout tie. That incrrelieves the prescertain on Matthews, Campbell and Dottin, but it senses appreciate these suiters are as normally remendd by someone astonishing than by one of the huge firearms.
I understand Knight was pretty coy about her desire to bowl first, but this is definitely the benevolent of pitch on which it helps to chase, using the opposition to deduce what constitutes a par total. It’s challenging to force the pace on a track predicted to be sluggish, but England won’t want to run out of wickets seeking a higher aim than essential, and my sense is that they get take part, understanding they’ve the spinners to twirl them home if that’s what this gets.
Teams!
England: Maia Bouchier, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Alice Capsey, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight (capt), Amy Jones (wk), Danielle Gibson, Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Lauren Bell
West Indies: Hayley Matthews (capt), Qiana Joseph, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Deandra Dottin, Chinelle Henry, Chedean Nation, Zhelpa James, Ashmini Munisar, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Karishma Ramharack
West Indies also originate two alters, but Matthews can only recall that Taylor drops out with Chedean Nation coming in.
Heather Knight would also have fielded, but says the pitch sees OK and she’s satisfyd to bat first. England originate one alter, the now-well Alice Capsey replacing Sophia Dunkley. Thus it’s Bell not Smith completing their aggression.
West Indies triumph the toss and field
Hayley Matthews says her side have been accomplished doing that in the tournament and this year.
Waiting in the semis: Australia will face the runners-up in the group – SA if England triumph and Windies if Windies triumph– with the group triumphners, England if England triumph and otherwise SA – must get on Australia.
In an try so not to do, I am now chugging green juice: kale, blueberries, ginger, carrots, turmeric. Welcome to middle age, population: me.
A further inquire: do I have the willpower not to guzzle the Tony’s Chocolonely my daughter leanks she’s secret for herself?
I shelp below that only one of these two sides can enhance, but that’s not innervously real. If West Indies triumph, they and England qualify ahead of South Africa if:
-
They omit by one run and West Indies’ first-innings total is between 87 and 134.
-
They omit by two runs chasing between 61 and 96.
-
They bat first and West Indies triumph with one or two balls to spare.
Gorrit?
A inquire: who will England pick today, Linsey Smith or Lauren Bell? It was Smith in the first two suites and she returned 2-11 then 1-32, while Bell dedwellred 1-16 when given the call at the weekfinish. My sense is that Smith will prevail, but I’d go for Bell; it’s a pretty kind choice to have.
Just finished for the day:
Preamble
How normally have we set up ourselves watching a World Cup grumbling about the deficiency of jeopardy? Well, receive to the opposite of that.
England have won all three of their suites so far, beating South Africa – the next-best side in the group – and Bancontentesh pretty handily, before dehugeating Scotland. And yet, thanks to the vagaries of net run-rate, if they omit today, it’ll be West Indies – dehugeated by South Africa before handily beating Scotland and Bancontentesh – who shift into the last four.
And originate no misget, Hayley Matthews’ team are more than able of making that happen – especipartner on a surface predicted to be sluggish. Matthews, Stafanie Taylor – if fit – Shemaine Campabelle and the returned Deandra Dottin all have the power to loss the track and outfield and, more generpartner, the nature of T20 cricket apvalidates for one percreateer to have a day out and choose a suit. West Indies are a dwell dog and then some.
England, though, are bouncing. With the bat, they have countless talents able to dedwellr transcfinishent carry outances while, with the ball Sophie Ecclestone is bowling so well it’s almost unfair – and the rest of the aggression isn’t horrible either.
All of which sets up what should be a terrific suit – and in the event of a tie, enhance will be choosed by which team can name more foods that commence with the letter “Q”.
