England vs West Indies, 2nd T20I – Key Players

England

Sophia Dunkley: She has played a crucial role in England’s opening T20I victory, delivering an unbeaten 81 off 56 balls. The 26-year-old batter, who represents Surrey domestically, has been in exceptional form, accumulating 319 runs in six matches, including a top score of 102 not out. With 65 T20I appearances, Dunkley has now amassed 1,067 runs, making her latest knock her highest in the format.

Emily Arlott: A 27-year-old fast bowler, made an impressive debut for England in the first T20I, finishing with figures of 1 for 28. She earned her spot in the squad following a strong domestic season, where she claimed 14 wickets in seven matches for Warwickshire in the Women’s One Day Cup, with best figures of 4 for 61. Arlott’s ability to deliver with the new ball and in the death overs adds valuable depth to England’s pace attack.

West Indies

Qiana Joseph: She had a quiet outing in the first T20I, scoring just 2 runs, but she has demonstrated her potential in previous matches. Earlier this year, she impressed in a T20I series against Bangladesh, registering scores of 29 and 63. Despite inconsistent performances in the ODI World Cup Qualifiers, where she recorded 0, 4, 31, 26, and 2, Joseph remains a dangerous batter. She has played 22 T20Is, scoring 360 runs, with a highest score of 63.

Afy Fletcher: 38-year-old leg-spinner, played a key role in West Indies’ bowling attack, dismissing England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt in the first T20I and finishing with figures of 1 for 27 in three overs. A veteran of 94 T20Is, she has taken 91 wickets, with a career-best of 5 for 13, making her a crucial asset in controlling the middle overs for West Indies.
