England are knocked out of the Women's T20 World Cup at the group stage by West Indies after a sloppy all-round performance.
England were knocked out of the Women's T20 World Cup at the end of the group stage after a sloppy all-round performance against West Indies in Dubai.
England's 141-7 looked competitive at the halfway stage, with Nat Sciver-Brunt's unbeaten 57 from 50 providing the backbone. But, the tournament's format is unforgiving and one slip can cost you - they may have only lost one game, but so had their opponents, and they were not ruthless enough. The turning point came in the 13th over when the pair set off for a comfortable single but Knight pulled up hobbling, eventually having to be helped off the field just as the partnership was turning dangerous on 46 from six overs.
Enter Joseph, who chose the perfect occasion to score her first international half-century with plenty of help from England along the way. Given their lack of batting depth, the pair's departure did open up the possibility of a remarkable England fightback but all-rounder Dottin wound back the years with two fours and two sixes to break the back of a run-a-ball chase in the end.
