SPO:Hosts stay perfect at Women's Twenty20 World Cup

Nat Sciver-Brunt has stoked fears of an injury setback when she retired out after helping England beat Ireland by four wickets to make it two wins from two at the Women's T20 World Cup.

Sciver-Brunt only returned from a torn left calf last week, but after leading England's recovery with 48 runs to leave them needing nine for victory on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), she trudged off the field in Southampton.

England reached a meagre 119 target with 15 balls to spare to move on to four points in Group B and put themselves in pole position to reach the semi-finals, but the main talking point will be if their captain will be available in four days against Scotland at Headingley.
