Jaw-dropping European win

SOPHIE ECCLESTONE hopes England can avoid their tendency to “get a bit ahead of ourselves” and focus on what is immediately in front of them at the T20 World Cup.
A win over the West Indies tomorrow will guarantee England top spot in Group B and, on paper at least, an easier semi-final as they would not meet defending champions and firm favourites Australia.
Defeat would leave them, the Windies and South Africa on six points apiece, leaving net run-rate to determine which two teams progress to the knockout stages, with England’s currently the best.
