Sophia Dunkley scored 57 off 37 balls, helping England beat Scotland by 38 runs in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at Headingley on June 20. Dunkley stepped in for captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, who is injured, responding effectively after a first-ball wicket left England at 0-1. This performance complicates selection for the upcoming match against New Zealand, as Sciver-Brunt is expected to return.
