ℱAfter restricting the USA to 119/5 in 20 overs, England chased the target down in 14.2 overs. Opener Davina Sarah T Perrin, who hit nine fours and three sixes in a 45-ball knock, scored more than 80 per cent of the required runs.
෴When the right-handed batter from Wolverhampton left the crease for 74 runs, the equation was two in 24. And England knocked off the target for their second win in three games.
🔴Asked to set a target by England captain Katie Jones, the USA rode skipper Anika Kolan's unbeaten 46 off 42 to post what looked like a fighting total. But it eventually proved insufficient against a rampant English side who had defeated Pakistan by six wickets earlier.
♈With five points, the last edition's losing finalists topped the group, ahead of the USA (three points). The Americans, with rich Indian-origin talent in the ranks, had defeated Ireland following their no result with Pakistan. England and the USA will be joined by either Pakistan or Ireland in the Super Six.
