Natalie Sciver-Brunt scored a majestic 81 as England scored the first-ever 200-plus score in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup history on Tuesday in Cape Town.

England scored 213/5 against Pakistan in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup match at Newlands.

Sciver-Brunt, who has been in tremendous batting form, carried from where she left off against India. She played some glorious shots over the offside especially to finish on a near flawless 81 off 40 balls. Danni Wyatt and Amy Jones chipped in with brilliant knocks too.
