Women's T20 WC: When and where to watch England vs West Indies clash, know all details
Lords, June 23
A top-of-the-table battle awaits at Lord's on Wednesday when unbeaten England Women take on fellow undefeated West Indies Women in a potentially decisive Group 2 clash of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026.
England have been one of the stars of the tournament, winning all three of their games and having an impressive net run rate of +2.490. The hosts have looked dominant with bat and ball, recording a commanding win over Scotland overcoming the absence of captain Nat Sciver-Brunt. Sophia Dunkley produced a fluent 57 at No.3 and there have been contributions too from Amy Jones, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Alice Capsey and Heather Knight in a batting unit that put on 200 runs in their previous outing. England's bowling attack has been just as effective with Charlie Dean leading the way and Lauren Bell and Sophie Ecclestone offering wicket-taking threats throughout the innings.
Meanwhile, West Indies have quietly put together their own perfect run and are second in the group. Captain Hayley Matthews continues to be the key with both bat and ball. She hasn't really exploded in this tournament yet but she is getting there. 48 against New Zealand and 17 against Sri Lanka are signs of her getting into her rhythm. Matthews also has a great record against England including a T20I century. The Caribbean side have firepower in their ranks with experienced campaigners Stafanie Taylor, Deandra Dottin and Shemaine Campbelle to test England's credentials.

Wish BCCI would give our women's team similar media coverage. Look at the detailed squad lists and match timings they're providing for this tournament. Our girls deserve the same treatment, especially after their World Cup performances. Anyway, backing Matthews to score big - she has a point to prove against England after that century earlier.
Charlie Dean has been unplayable this tournament! 10 wickets in 3 matches with economy under 5 - that's world-class. But West Indies have Deandra Dottin who can take any bowling apart. England missing Sciver-Brunt's captaincy but their depth is incredible. This could be the match of the tournament so far.
Love seeing women's T20 getting this much promotion in India! Star Sports and JioStar streaming - makes it so accessible. My only concern is the late timing for us. Would be great if future tournaments schedule some matches keeping Indian fans in mind. Still, set my alarm for 11 PM! 🇮🇳
England's net run rate of +2.490 is insane! They're playing like champions. But West Indies have this habit of peaking at the right time. Matthews hasn't fired fully yet - watch out for a big knock tonight. Also, good to see Ashmini Munisar and Jannillea Glasgow getting opportunities. Caribbean cricket is in good hands.
Honestly, I feel both teams have looked good but England have been more clinical. Their bowling attack with Dean, Bell, and
