219/1 – England surpassed their own 213/5 against Pakistan (Cape Town, 2023) to register the highest ever team total in Women's T20 World Cup.

It was just the third instance of a team finishing with a 130-plus total while losing one or no wicket, after Australia's 189/1 against Bangladesh (Canberra, 2020) and South Africa's 163/0 against Pakistan (Sylhet, 2014).
