The 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup is down to its last league game, with spots in the final four still open, set to be decided in match no. 20 between England and West Indies at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. The game is scheduled for the 15th of October 2024, at 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
England kicked off their 2024 T20 World Cup campaign with an ordinary 21-run win over Bangladesh but followed up with a commanding 7-wicket victory against South Africa. In their most recent match, a disciplined bowling performance helped England restrict Scotland to 109/6, with Sophie Ecclestone leading the wicket tally with figures of 2/14. In response, England chased down the target comfortably in just 10 overs, with Maia Bouchier (62*) and Danni Wyatt-Hodge (51*) steering the team to victory.
On the other hand, the West Indies began their tournament with a heavy defeat, falling to South Africa by 10 wickets while defending a total of 118. However, they bounced back with two consecutive wins. In their most recent outing, Karishma Ramharack delivered an impressive 4/17, alongside Afy Fletcher’s 2/25, which restricted Bangladesh to 103/8. Contributions from top-order batters Hayley Matthews (34), Stafanie Taylor (27*), Shemaine Campbelle (21), and Deandra Dottin (19*) propelled the Windies to an 8-wicket victory.
Head-to-head in T20Is, England has registered 19 wins out of 28 games against the West Indies, who have won 8, with one game resulting in a tie. Notably, England’s last loss to the West Indies in a T20I was back in 2018. Since then, they have maintained a remarkable 13-match winning streak.
