A loss to England at Lord's on Wednesday has done nothing to dampen the confidence of West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews.

Matthews believes her side is well placed to reach the semi-finals of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup.

The Caribbean side suffered their first loss of the tournament when they fell to a 38-run defeat to hosts England at Lord's on Wednesday, and now find themselves needing a victory against Ireland in their final group match to make sure they earn a place in the knockout stages.
