Women's T20 World Cup: England crush Pakistan by 114 runs

NEW DELHI: Nat Sciver-Brunt scored a blistering 81 off 40 balls as England crushed Pakistan by 114 runs in a dead rubber of the Women's T20 World Cup at the Newlands stadium in Cape Town on Tuesday. Nat Sciver-Brunt was adjudged Player of the Match.

England, who have already qualified for the semifinals, have finished the Group B as table toppers along with second-placed India.

Opener Danielle Wyatt gave England a fine start with 59 off 33 balls before Sciver-Brunt unleashed carnage in his knock comprising 12 fours and a six to take her team a massive 213 for five.

Amy Jones also made a quickfire 47 off 31 balls.

Pakistan were never in the run chase and crawled to 99 for nine in 20 overs. England remained unbeaten in the group stage.

Katherine Sciver-Brunt and Charlotte Dean picked up a couple of wickets each.

Australia are set to face India in the first semifinal on Thursday, while England's semifinal opponent will be decided following the New Zealand-South Africa contest on Tuesday night.
