England Women beat West Indies Women by 38 runs

England Women beat West Indies Women by 38 runs in Match 22 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, with Danni Wyatt-Hodge setting up the result with a match-high 65 and earning Player of the Match honours. England’s 186/7 proved beyond West Indies Women, who finished on 148/5 despite a fighting 51 from Chinelle Henry.

The result continued England Women’s strong campaign in the tournament after earlier wins in Match 1, Match 8 and Match 16, while West Indies Women, who had also picked up victories in Match 4, Match 12 and Match 17, were unable to add another result here. With the group stage still moving forward, the tournament now turns to Bangladesh Women vs India Women and Netherlands Women vs South Africa Women on June 25, while England Women next face New Zealand Women on June 27 and West Indies Women meet Ireland Women later that same day.

England’s innings was built around Wyatt-Hodge’s 65, the highest score of the match, with Heather Knight adding 43 and Alice Capsey contributing 28 as they posted 186/7 from their 20 overs. Those contributions gave England momentum through the middle and latter stages, allowing them to keep the scoring rate up across the innings.

West Indies Women had some useful moments with the ball, led by Ashmini Munisar’s 2 wickets. Karishma Ramharack and Chinelle Henry also chipped in with a wicket each, but England’s core batting contributions ensured the total remained a demanding one in a World Cup contest.

In reply, West Indies Women needed a brisk start but were kept in check often enough by England’s attack. Chinelle Henry stood out with 51, while Jahzara Claxton made 21 and Shemaine Campbelle added 20, yet the chase never fully gathered the sustained acceleration required against a target close to 190.

Charlie Dean made the biggest impact with the ball for England, taking 2 wickets, while Lauren Bell and Sophie Ecclestone claimed one apiece. Those strikes helped England take control of the innings and hold West Indies to 148/5 from 20 overs, sealing a composed win by 38 runs.

A total of 334 runs were scored across the 40 overs, but England’s stronger return in the first innings proved the difference. Wyatt-Hodge’s 65 gave them a platform, Knight’s 43 added stability, and Dean’s two wickets ensured West Indies could not quite string together the sequence of partnerships needed late in the chase.
