Dean continues to impress as England Women secure IT20 series in West Indies

England Women 157-6 beat West Indies Women 140-8 by 17 runs.

Charlie Dean (4-19) rattled through the West Indies line-up leading England to a 3-0 win of the T20I series in Bridgetown.

Yet another win of the toss brought the fierce opening partnership in Lauren Winfield-Hill (24) and Sophia Dunkley (44) to the crease, who quickly saw England to 60. Heather Knight (43) and the rest of the tourists' batters had fun utilising their skills hitting all around the Kensington Oval, scoring their highest score ever in the West Indies.

The home side put up a fight but were no match for Charlie Dean, who was yet again, the pick of the bowlers with her 4 for 19 from her 4 overs.

QUOTE:

England Women's captain, Heather Knight, said: "I definitely enjoyed today! In T20 it's all about trying to find the boundaries and play to your strengths and I felt on that wicket that my strengths were being a bit funky and hitting square of the wicket so it was nice to contribute to a team win and nice to feel in good form.

"I think the way Sophia [Dunkley] started us off today was a great tone setter for the whole innings. She was so composed, knew her options really well and always nice to get off to a flier, it means you don't have as much work to do down the order and you can keep going hard throughout the innings.

"On the bowlers, we've obviously mixed up the team a little to offer opportunities and work out a bit about a few different players and someone like Charlie Dean has really come in and grasped hers. We're so lucky we've got such depth in the spin department.

"I don't think we're too far away from knowing our best team is and knowing potentially what that T20 World Cup squad looks like. It's all been a bit of a fact finding mission and getting to know a few people and how they work in slightly different places."
