England then returned to restrict Thailand to 78/7 and bounce back from Sunday’s loss to SA with the biggest victory, in terms of runs, in the tournament’s history. Put in to bat, England had a horrifying start to the contest which pitted the tournament’s inaugural 2009 champions and its Asian debutantes.
Celebration immediately followed as the 29-year-old smashed the next delivery from Chanida Sutthiruang over the long-on boundary for her fourth six. Knight’s 66-ball knock also included 13 boundaries.
