Coming off a disappointing whitewash at the hands of Australia in the Women’s Ashes earlier this year, England marked the beginning of a new chapter – with a new head coach and Nat Sciver-Brunt as the new all-format captain – in commanding fashion.
Speaking after the game, Sophia Dunkley, who smashed her highest-ever T20I score, praised the impact that head coach Charlotte Edwards had on the new-look England side.
“It was great to start the summer off with a win,” Dunkley said.
“Lottie (Charlotte Edwards) has come in as a really calm person and really clear with what we want to do.
“I wanted to come out and contribute to the team, try to impact the game as much as possible. It was a good night. Heather has been outstanding around the group, nothing has really changed much on that front.”
