England have reached the semi-finals of the Women's Cricket World Cup in a remarkable turnaround as they look to retain the trophy they memorably won at Lord's in 2017.
Batter Sophia Dunkley says England always believed they could revive their World Cup campaign after starting with three successive defeats.
India failed to reach the semi-finals of the ongoing ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, losing to South Africa in their final league stage fixture at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday. A win would have seen India secure a place in the semifinals at the expense of West Indies but a resilient unbeaten half-century by Mignon du Preez saw South Africa win the game by three wickets. The win further helped South Africa maintain their momentum for the semi-finals after finishing the league phase in second position with 11 points. Australia, who were the first team to qualify for the semis, are placed on top of the Women's World Cup points table with 14 points and are unbeaten. Meanwhile, England finished third after defeating Bangladesh by 100 runs on Sunday.

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Holders England won their last group match in style and West Indies benefited from South Africa's thrilling victory over India on Sunday to make the Women's World Cup semi-finals.
Defending champions England became the third team to book their place in the semi-finals of the Women's World Cup with a comfortable 100-run win over Bangladesh on Sunday. Sophia Dunkley's 72-ball 67 helped the reigning champions post 234 for six at Basin Reserve and a polished bowling performance, led yet again by Sophie Ecclestone's economical spell of 3/15, meant Bangladesh never threatened England's total and were bowled out for 134 in the 48th over. England have now won four matches on the trot, having more than made up for their slow start to the tournament with a string of impressive performances that has highlighted the depth in their squad.
Defending champions England continued their World Cup resurgence as they beat Bangladesh by 100 runs to march into the semi-finals with their fourth successive victory.
England cruised into the Women's World Cup semi-finals with a crushing 100-run victory over Bangladesh in their final group stage match in Wellington on Sunday. It sealed a dramatic resurgence for the defending champions who had been on the brink of elimination after losing their first three matches in the 50-over competition. They then won all of their remaining four games to secure a place in the top four. The comprehensive win saw them overtake the West Indies to join top qualifiers Australia and South Africa in the knockout stage. The final berth will be decided later Sunday in the match between India and South Africa.
