England were set a target of 77, revised to 64 after rain, and got there with room to spare as they won by seven wickets (DLS)
A win is a win is a win. Bangladesh imploded with the bat, but England bowled well, fielded with nip and verve, and Jones and the middle-order recovered their nerve after the rush-of-blood of the first few overs. As a bonus, the debutants performed nicely and looked relaxed, Jones was tasty behind the stumps and Sciver, Knight and Shrubsole eased into third gear. They’re now top of Group A. But it’s back to the batting drawing board for bottom-of-the-table Bangladesh, they need to find someone to stick with Ayasha.
Player of the match: Debutant Kirstie Gordon for her 3-16.
9.3 overs England 64-3 (Jones 28, Knight 11) Knight stretches out her front foot and bang, she sweeps the ball for four. And then again, a swish off her legs, another boundary, as two of the Bangladeshi fielders end up cuddling as they try to stop it.Next ball Jones and Knight scamper a single and it’s handshakes all round..
