Team India had toured England for a limited-overs series last year and England had just managed to pip the Indian side 2-1 in the three-match T20 series. India will look to turn the tables on the hosts in Saturday’s clash and ensure at least a silver medal, if not gold from the women’s cricket event – which is making it’s CWG debut this year.


The losers of the two semifinals will clash in the bronze medal playoff match on Sunday. Meanwhile, rampaging through the top order, Katherine Brunt and Issy Wong made an England win a foregone conclusion.


The pair rattled the top three of Sophie Devine (1), Amelia Kerr (3) and Suzie Bates (6) to have the White Ferns 12/3 an unable to climb out of the hole. The run out of Brooke Halliday (1) compounded matters, and Sophie Ecclestone beat the defences of Maddy Green (19) who was the only player to show any resistance.



Despite the early wicket of Danni Wyatt (1), England were untroubled in the chase to secure top spot. Sophia Dunkley (19) and Alice Capsey (23 from 19 balls) moved things along with a partnership of 41, with Capsey hitting five boundaries in her cameo.


Approaching her 18th birthday, Capsey is already making an impression in English colours. Averaging 35.50 with a strike rate of 120 in the format, the right-hander looks to be a long-term rock of the batting order.
