In response, the West Indies lost the plot and after their skipper, Stafanie Taylor was stretched off the field, they were reduced to 42-4.
Consequently, West Indies managed to reach just 97 -9 with 17 balls remaining and their skipper unable to return to the crease despite Lee-Ann Kirby’s 15 ball 20.
England thus clinched the match and sealed a place in the semis.
