Well, that was as dominant a performance as England could've wished for.

Wickets shared around, more runs for Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophia Dunkley stepping up too.

They will find out their semi-final opponents tomorrow after the final group-stage game between India and Australia, so make sure you join us here for that at 14:30 BST because it promises to be a cracker.

Until then, here's Matthew Henry's match report in case you missed any of tonight's fun, and we look forward to your company again tomorrow!

England captain Charlie Dean: "Really special. Danni's not sleeping much but still scoring so many runs, so I don't know what the secret is!

"But she always wants to improve and I love that about her.

"We've got people stepping up at different times, and lots of different players contributing. We're also really clear in our roles as bowlers and tournament cricket is all about building momentum.

"There's small margin for error here at The Oval when you are bowling, we learned a lot from playing here tonight. Hopefully similar conditions on Tuesday or Thursday."

New Zealand captain Melie Kerr: "That's the saddest part of it all, three legends of the game leave our environment and women's cricket. They've given so much to the shirt and we will miss them so much, but we'll definitely make sure to celebrate them tonight.

"I came into this side as a kid and the three of them mentored me, and taught me so much. I feel very grateful to have had so much time with them.

"Ireland gave us a chance to make the semis. There were moments with the bat where we had a chance but we lost wickets in quick succession and then Danni played beautifully, but we weren't consistent enough with the ball.

"We can all recognise that we've had a disappointing tournament. Of course we'd love a shot at the semis, there's still a lot to work on but we know we have the potential to be a dangerous side."

Player of the match Danni Wyatt-Hodge: "T20 cricket can be fickle, you've got to start again every time but I knew it was a beauty of a pitch and I loved batting out there with Dunks.

"It's always pretty flat and then it skidded on quite nicely after the rain. We backed ourselves to hit our strengths and enjoy it.

"I fell out of a tree when I was 10 which means I can bend it a weird way and that's why I can hit through the off side like that but it worked well for me tonight.

"Suzie Bates was a big idol of mine growing up. The three of them have been outstanding, they've done so much and we're all sad to see them go.

"We don't know who were playing yet or when [for the semis] but we'll sit tight, watch the football tonight and be ready for whoever it is!"

That result also confirms West Indies' place in the semi-finals alongside England from Group Two.

We'll find out their opponents tomorrow after the conclusion of India v Australia - the big one!

Records galore for Wyatt-Hodge today. She's now gone past Charlotte Edwards' tally of 768 runs in the ICC Women's T20 Cup history with only Nat Sciver-Brunt to have scored more runs than her.

Most runs for England - ICC Women's T20 World Cup

• Nat Sciver-Brunt: 832
• Danni Wyatt-Hodge: 770
• Charlotte Edwards: 768
• Heather Knight: 599
• Sarah Taylor: 541

Meanwhile, the emotions are high in the New Zealand camp.

England's players form a guard of honour for three stalwarts of the game. Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu soak in the applause of the Oval crowd as they wave farewell to international cricket.

Melie Kerr is in tears as she watches her idols depart.

They have given so much to women's cricket and to their country, and while they have underperformed this time around, they had that magical moment together in 2024 where they won the title.

A masterclass. England cruise into the semi-finals unbeaten!

It's agony for Sophia Dunkley, as England win it from a Lea Tahuhu wide so she is left stranded on 49, but it has been a magnificent innings and partnership.

They added 128 from just 80 balls, and Wyatt-Hodge finishes on 89 not out.

Drilled for four, scores level, Dunkley on to 49!

Lea Tahuhu is going to bowl the final over and it will be her last in a New Zealand shirt.

That's a ridiculous shot.

Eng 159-1published at 16.5 overs

16.5 overs

Need 5 runs to win

Wow!

Outside the off stump again, punished for four behind square again!

New Zealand haven't bowled well to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, they've given her far too much width, but she has punished it ruthlessly.

Just three singles from the rest of the over as Sophie Devine recovers, but England are closing in on victory.

New Zealand's semi-final hopes are slipping away.

No player has scored more runs in a single edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup than Danni Wyatt-Hodge's tally of 267 runs this year.

Most Runs in a single edition of ICC Women's T20 World Cup

• Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 2026 - 267
• Beth Mooney, 2020 - 259
• Meg Lanning, 2014 - 257
• Stafanie Taylor, 2016 - 246
• Alyssa Healy, 2020 - 236

Each of the four other batters on this list went on to lift the T20 World Cup title in that edition. Well, no pressure there Danni!

Here's Sophie Devine, for what looks very likely to be the last time in international cricket.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge shows no mercy, slicing the first ball of the over for four.

Melie Kerr's difficult night continues.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge clubs a one-bounce four down the ground, before Sophia Dunkley sweeps behind square to bring up the 100 partnership.

They've been superb.

A rare boundary-less over is bowled by Nensi Patel, but it won't bother England in the slightest. They are miles ahead of the game.

The partnership between Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophia Dunkley stands at 91 from 60 balls.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge has been exceptional when she's been offered any sort of width outside the stumps line in this T20 World Cup. She's striking at 190+ when offered any sort of width. Extra bounce has been the only delivery to restrict her, but the bowlers in this tournament haven't been to do it often to test this prolific batter.

Jess Kerr recovers well to close out the over but the equation is simple for England. They need 42 runs at a run-a-ball.
