Danni Wyatt-Hodge delivered a masterful innings of 89 runs to guide England to a nine-wicket victory over New Zealand at the Kia Oval, keeping the hosts unbeaten in the Women's T20 World Cup. Sophia Dunkley provided excellent support with 49 runs as England chased down New Zealand's total of 163-6 with 16 balls to spare.

Wyatt-Hodge's performance came at her home ground and marked her fifth consecutive match contributing significantly to England's cause. The win eliminated the defending champions and secured England's place in the semi-finals with a perfect record from their five group matches. New Zealand's total was built around Melie Kerr's 40 and Sophie Devine's 30, but proved insufficient against England's dominant batting display.

Ireland earned their first win of the tournament by defeating West Indies by six wickets, with Orla Prendergast scoring 63 off 44 balls. Meanwhile, Pakistan ended their winless streak by beating Netherlands by 37 runs, thanks to Gull Feroza's unbeaten 63. These results reshuffled the semi-final race, with West Indies advancing despite losing to Ireland.

England's five-from-five record makes them favorites heading into the knockout stages. Wyatt-Hodge's 89 not out at the Kia Oval proved decisive in dismantling the champions and sending a statement to other semi-final contenders.
