4 overs, 8 runs, 4 wickets… 17-year-old bowler spewed fire, England beat New Zealand and booked a ticket to the semi-finals

With England's victory and New Zealand's defeat, the line-up for the semi-finals of the ICC Under 19 Women's World Cup has been decided. England's women's team achieved this success by defeating New Zealand by 6 wickets in the Super 6 match played on 27 January. 17-year-old bowler Tilly Courtin Coleman played an important role in this victory, who ignited such a fire in 4 overs that New Zealand had no answer to extinguish it. The result was that the Kiwi team could not even score 100 runs in 20 overs and it became easy for England to write the script of their victory in the match.
Deadly performance of 17-year-old bowler
In the match, New Zealand came out to bat first. But it was not easy for their batsmen to stand their ground against the English bowlers. Brett and Johnson together destroyed the top order of the Kiwi team. Tilly Courtin Coleman alone was enough to deal with the team's captain and the lower order.
