A day of persistent rain in Sydney saw England knocked out of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at the semi-final stage.
With no reserve day in the tournament playing conditions the rules dictate group-winners progress to the final in the event of an abandoned game, and with India having topped Group A they travel to Melbourne to take part in Sunday's final.
It was a bitterly disappointing way
SCORECARD
England Women beat West Indies by 46 runs in Sydney to secure qualification for the semi-finals of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup.
Nat Sciver batted brilliantly on a tired and slow wicket to make 57 - her third fifty of the tournament - and some excellent late striking from Amy Jones and Katherine Brunt took England to 143/5.
It's a venue at which India comfortably defended 132
SCORECARD
A half-century from Heather Knight and three wickets from Sarah Glenn took England to a comfortable victory over Pakistan in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup.

Captain Heather Knight scored an unbeaten hundred as England Women beat Thailand to return to winning ways in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
Knight’s 108 saw her become the first English cricketer – male or female – to score hundreds in Test, ODI and IT20 cricket.
The 169 she put on with Nat Sciver is also England’s highest partnership in women’s IT20 cricket. To add to a day
SCORECARD
South Africa beat England by six wickets in the final over of their ICC Women's T20 World Cup opener in Perth.
England fought hard with the ball to take it down to the wire after Nat Sciver's 50 had led them to 123/8 and given them a sniff at the interval, but Mignon Du Preez and Sune Luus got their side over the line.
Heather Knight's team would have felt below par with the b
SCORECARD
England Women's final preparations for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup were dealt a surprising blow in Adelaide with a 10-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka.
Heather Knight won the toss and batted first but her team - with a slightly rejigged order - never got going, losing regular wickets to Sri Lanka's spinners and reaching just 122/9 from their 20 overs.
Early wickets were the key to
