England Women U19 120-2 beat USA Women U19 119-5 by eight wickets
Warwickshire's Davina Perrin scored a commanding 74 from just 45 balls to take England Women U19 to a comfortable eight-wicket win over USA and secure their place in the Super Six stage of the ICC U19 Women's Cricket World Cup.
Perrin, playing in her second Under-19 World Cup, put on 117 alongside Durham all-rounder Trudy Johnson to make light work of USA's total of 119, England reaching their total inside 15 overs.
Once again with the ball it was a team effort, with three bowlers sharing the five wickets - one for Tilly Corteen-Coleman and two apiece for Johnson and The Blaze's Prisha Thanawala.
Perrin said: 鈥渋t鈥檚 always so nice to get runs for the team but it鈥檚 way more meaningful when they contribute to a win and I鈥檓 really happy to help us get the points. Trudy batted really well, and we had a lot of fun, and hopefully as a group we can carry this momentum into the Super Sixes.鈥�
Chris Guest's team will be back in action from Saturday, hoping to make it through to the last four of the competition.
