England Women could not start the World Cup campaign on a winning note against South Africa, even after taking the match all the way to 20th over while defending a decent target of 124. However, against Thailand, they managed to secure an easy win by smashing the highest total of the tournament, 176 runs.
Pakistan Women on the other hand straightaway opened their account by defeating West Indies Women after Javeria Khan and Muneeba Ali gave the team a flying start during the chase. Diana Baig and Nida Dar were remarkable with the ball to restrict West Indies under 125. The win was only their second against West Indies Women in the T20 format.

England Women were unfortunate to lose the first game against South Africa after Mignon du Preez struck a six in the final over of the match. England Women could not make enough runs on the board after Sciver (41-balls 50) did not get support from the fellow batsmen while batting first. Still defending 124, English bowlers did well not to take the match till the 20th over. Ecclestone (2 for 19) was the pick of the bowers, while Shrubsole and Glenn took 1 wicket each.
In the second T20I against Thailand Women, Heather Knight’s maiden T20I century (66-balls 108 runs) powered the side to 176 runs in 20 overs batting first, while Sciver smashed the second consecutive half-century to support the skipper after both the openers returned to the pavilion on a duck. Shrubsole’s 3 for 21 and Sciver’s 2 for 5 did not allow Thailand Women batsmen to settle; eventually, England Women won the game by 98 runs.
