ICC Women World Cup: Top Five Knocks

#4 Natalie Sciver - 129 runs off 111 balls v New Zealand, July 12

Natalie Sciver: Composed and crackling

With her team tottering at 52 for three down, England's Natalie Sciver produced a scintillating hundred against New Zealand at Derby to push England in the semi-finals of the world cup.

The right-hand batter started slowly and refused the New Zealand bowlers any more wickets. She stitched an important partnership with Tammy Beaumont and added 170 runs for the fourth wicket.

Sciver kept the scoreboard ticking by pushing the ball in the gaps and was brave enough to punish the bad ones. She went berserk in the death overs and smashed Bermingham for two consecutive boundaries. Her big hits reflected her massive power as well as her game awareness.

While looking for another big hit in the 47th over, she handed a simple catch to the mid-wicket fielder. Her brilliance helped the hosts to reach 284 runs which proved more than enough as New Zealand were unfolded for just 204 runs.
