England have topped Group B after a resounding 114-run victory against Pakistan on Tuesday, reaching a mammoth 213 for five – the highest total in Women’s T20 World Cup history – before restricting Pakistan to 99 for nine.

Nat Sciver-Brunt – the tournament’s leading run-scorer – hit an unbeaten 81 from 40 balls, while Danni Wyatt (59 off 33) and Amy Jones (47 off 31) shared in the onslaught.

Assuming South Africa beat Bangladesh in the second match of Tuesday’s double-header, England will face the hosts in their semi-final on Friday.

A win for Bangladesh, or a no-result, would mean England take on New Zealand. The other semi-final will be contested by Australia and India on Thursday.
