Victory in Barbados takes England Women 2-0 up in IT20s

England Women 141-6 beat West Indies Women 125-8 by 16 runs.

England Women go 2-0 in the five match IT20 series against West Indies Women in Barbados.

England started with intent having chosen to bat first, but after a few quick wickets, a strong 40 partnership between Sophia Dunkley (43) and Maia Bouchier (24) was needed to settle the middle of their innings. Sarah Glenn's explosive 10* from the last 3 balls took the side through to the end finishing with 141.

It took a combined effort from the tourists bowlers to restrict the West Indies but stand out Charlie Dean lead the way with her 3-22, her first overs in International T20 cricket having been rained off in Adelaide back in January.

QUOTE:

England Women's player, Charlie Dean, said: "I'm really buzzing with my performance, to contribute like that is amazing. It didn't really feel like a first T20 for me, off the back of The Hundred and being in the 50 over squad, I felt really comfortable out there.

"It's great to be able to play at grounds like the Kensington Oval. It's definitely not something I ever thought I'd be doing so it's really special. Hopefully we can get back out there on Saturday and get a similar result."
