The second T20I between England Women and West Indies Women is set to take place on May 23, 2025, at the County Ground in Hove, with action beginning at 11:05 PM IST. Following a comprehensive performance in the series opener, England will be eager to clinch the series, while West Indies will hope to bounce back and keep the contest alive.
In the series opener, 1st T20I, Hayley Matthews delivered a sensational captain’s innings, hammering an unbeaten 100 off 67 deliveries to guide West Indies to a competitive total of 146 for 7. With little support from the rest of the lineup—Mandy Mangru’s 17 being the next-best score—Matthews’ lone effort stood out.
England’s bowling was disciplined, with Lauren Bell claiming 2 for 29 and Linsey Smith contributing 1 for 18, keeping the West Indian batters in check. In response, England’s chase was smooth and commanding. Sophia Dunkley anchored the innings with a superb 81 not out off 56 balls, ably supported by Heather Knight’s unbeaten 43, helping the hosts to a dominant 8-wicket win with 21 balls remaining.
