Dubai: Nat Sciver-Brunt produced a captain’s knock of the highest order as her record-breaking fifth ICC Women’s World Cup hundred was the catalyst for England’s 89-run win over Sri Lanka.
The 33-year-old, who was dropped on three, brilliantly combined boundary hitting with rotating the strike in Colombo on the way to a run-a-ball 117 which was also her 10th career ODI century.
Having posted 253 for nine with the bat, England maintained their 100% record at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 and took top spot in the group stage table after their bowlers, led by Sophie Ecclestone’s brilliant four for 17, restricted their opponents playing in their home country to 164 all out inside 46 overs.
