ICC Women WC Semifinals: Sophia Dunkley looks forward to semi-final clash after beating Bangladesh

Tough journey in group stages – Defending champions England booked their spot in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup semi-finals with an easy 100-run triumph over Bangladesh here at Basin Reserve on Sunday. “It was definitely not easy to get in. The bowlers started really well and bowled really well but I think me and Amy just thought to dig in there, get a partnership and set a platform. I have got a few starts and it was nice to make a bigger contribution today,” said Dunkley in a post-match presentation.

Statement – “It was a little bit slow and the pacers bowled well on it, our talk was about building a partnership and seeing where we are at the back end. I am loving it. It has been great, sometimes it is hard to remember you are in a WC and it is a childhood dream. Our main job was to get the job done today. Really looking forward to the semifinal,” she added.
