Women's World Cup: England Crush Bangladesh By 100 Runs To March Into Semis
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.

With only pride to play for, Sidra Ameen showcased some brilliant batting skills during Pakistan's ongoing league stage fixture of the ongoing ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Thursday. Although Pakistan were bowled out by England for 105 runs in 41.3 overs, the 29-year-old batter top-scored for her side with a knock of 32 runs off 77 balls. Ameen also smashed four fours, one of which caught the eye of the tournament's official handle and led to comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar. In the second delivery of the 15th over, Ameen received a full delivery from Nat Sciver and she played a brilliant drive to direct the ball down the ground past the bowler's left, beating mid-on.
