Knight's team make sure of place in semi-finals with defeat of West Indies in Sydney.

Sophie Ecclestone described her involvement in England’s T20 World Cup campaign as “a dream come true” after the squad eased into the semi-finals with a 46-run victory over West Indies in Sydney.

Twenty-year-old Ecclestone took three wickets for seven runs as England booked their place in the final four, bowling alongside Sarah Glenn, also 20, and 21-year-old Mady Villiers.

Ecclestone has now taken wickets on her last 18 T20 internationals, with her bowling of Anisa Mohammed the young spinner’s  100th wicket.

“With Glenny and now Mady in the team, it’s really nice to have a spin companionship,” she told the International Cricket Council.

Captain Knight told Sky Sports: “We knew it was going to be a slow wicket but we’ve played on a lot recently, having been in Malaysia.

“We knew we had to play clever and keep it simple. We ran really well, I thought we did that brilliantly.”

Explaining Jones’ move down the order, Knight said at the post-match presentation ceremony: “Amy’s had a few low scores and we felt we wanted to change something. She’s still very important for us but it didn’t come off for Tammy.

“We’ll have to sit down and have a look at our best line-up for the semi-final.

“We’ve been playing good one-day cricket from the second game so hopefully we can carry it forward.”
