West Indies vs England: when is second Women’s T20 fixture? How to watch on UK TV, start-times and team news

England Women secured a triuphant victory in their first T20 fixture of the five match series against the West Indies. The West Indies were reduced to just 105/5 at the end of their 20 overs with Lauren Bell the pick of the English bowlers taking three wickets for 26.

Spin bowler Sophie Ecclestone also had a match to remember as she went for only six runs off her four immaculate overs. West Indies’ Rashada Williams was the highest scorer for her side with 23 runs to her name.

England’s Danni Wyatt secured a quick victory for the side as she hit a forceful 59 not out off just 34 balls which included seven fours and two sixes. She was joined at the crease by Sophie Dunkley and Lauren Winfield-Hill who scored 25 and 15 respectively. It took England just 12.4 overs to reach the total set by West Indies and they now lead the series 1-0 heading into the Kensington Oval fixture later this week.

This T20 win comes only a few days after England secured a 3-0 white-wash over their hosts in a three-match ODI series with a returning Nat Sciver bouncing back to form.
