West Indies Knock England Out of Women’s T20 World Cup with Six-Wicket Victory

England were eliminated from the Women’s T20 World Cup after a sloppy performance against West Indies in Dubai, losing by six wickets. Despite setting a competitive target of 141-7, England’s fielding errors and missed opportunities allowed West Indies to chase down the total in 18 overs.

Qiana Joseph, dropped five times by England, led the charge with a crucial 52 from 38 balls, while captain Hayley Matthews added a composed 50 off 38 deliveries. Their 102-run opening stand set the foundation for West Indies’ successful chase, securing a place in the semi-finals.

England, plagued by dropped catches and the injury of captain Heather Knight, struggled to contain West Indies’ aggression. Nat Sciver-Brunt’s unbeaten 57 from 50 balls provided the backbone of England’s innings, but their fielding mistakes proved costly.

West Indies will face New Zealand in the semi-finals, while England’s early exit marks their first group-stage elimination since 2010.
