Canberra: England spin twins Sarah Glenn and Sophie Ecclestone inspired England to a 42-run win over Pakistan as their semi-final bid strengthened at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2020 on Friday.
Heather Knight (62) and Nat Sciver (36) continued their fine form as England posted 158 for seven, enough to seal back-to-back wins and close the gap on South Africa in Group B. Glenn (three for 15) and Ecclestone (two for 12) exercised unrelenting control over the Pakistan run-chase as Bismah Maroof's side failed to back up their opening win over West Indies.
Brief Score: England 158/7 (Heather Knight 62, Nat Sciver 36; Aiman Anwar 3/30); Pakistan 116 all out (Aliya Riaz 41; Sarah Glenn 3/15, Anya Shrubsole 3/25). IANS
