CANBERRA - Skipper Heather Knight smashed the first century of the women's Twenty20 World Cup Wednesday as England emphatically got their campaign back on track with a crushing 98-run win over minnows Thailand.
But Knight hit an unbeaten 108 in a tournament-best 169-run partnership with Natalie Sciver to secure the vital win. England's 176 for two was also the highest score by any team so far. "Every game is a must-win game for us now. It was a nice start to get on the board today but we have a long way to go in this competition and we've got to keep the momentum going and put in strong performances."
"It was a challenging game for us today, but we tried our best," said Thai captain Sornnarin Tippoch.Sornnarin won the toss and opted to bowl and it couldn't have started better with Amy Jones stumped from the second ball of the day.
