England clinched a semi-final berth in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 by defeating West Indies by 38 runs. Danni Wyatt-Hodge’s impressive half-century, scoring 65 off 42 balls, and Heather Knight’s 43 off 26 balls guided England to a total of 186/7. This victory marked England’s fourth consecutive win in the tournament.
In response, West Indies, chasing 187 runs, faced early setbacks as England’s bowlers restricted them to 148/5. Despite efforts from West Indies batters, including a 63-run partnership between Jahzara Claxton and Chinelle Henry, they fell short of the target. England’s strong performance in both batting and bowling secured their place at the top of Group B with eight points.
The West Indies, previously unbeaten in the tournament, now need a win in their final group game against Ireland to maintain their chances of advancing to the semi-finals. England’s dominant display against West Indies showcased their prowess and determination in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
