West Indies knocked England out of the Women's T20 World Cup with a six-wicket victory in Dubai, securing their spot in the semi-finals at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. 
 
West Indies, who had not defeated England since 2018, ended a 13-game losing run and won Group B to advance to the Sharjah semi-finals where they will face New Zealand. West Indies' final appearance in a T20 World Cup semifinal occurred in that same year.

After being eliminated in the group stage of the 2010 T20 World Cup, this is only the second time England has failed to advance past the knockout stages. They were optimistic about reaching the final four this time around after winning their first three games. South Africa replaces England in the West Indies, after England's net run-rate drops them to third place in the group.
