England storms into Women’s T20 World Cup semifinals at sweltering Lord’s

England secured a spot in the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup semifinals after defeating the West Indies by 38 runs at Lord’s. Danni Wyatt-Hodge led England with a powerful 65 off 42 balls, making her the tournament’s top run-scorer. Despite the West Indies’ chance to advance by beating Ireland, they struggled in the heat, managing only 148-5 against England’s 186-7. Wyatt-Hodge’s performance was crucial, and despite some fielding errors, England maintained control. West Indies captain Hayley Matthews was controversially dismissed, and Chinelle Henry’s late effort was not enough to change the outcome.
