Heather Knight Slams Century As England Beat Thailand By 98 runs

But Knight hit an unbeaten 108 in a tournament-best 169-run partnership with Natalie Sciver (not out 59) to secure the vital win. England's 176 for two was also the highest score by any team so far.

"We were gutted after the performance the other day so it was very important that we bounced back with a decent performance here, which we did," said Knight.

"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."
