But we know how brilliant they are as a side, they\u2019ve dominated the games they\u2019ve played in, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re a very skilful team and we know we need to produce our best cricket to beat them.

It doesn\u2019t matter what\u2019s happened before that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dean, who made her international debut in 2021, added: \u201cI feel like it is the most confident I\u2019ve personally been in an England shirt and I feel like that radiates from everyone else as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211; \u2018Sparkly jacket\u2019 &#8211;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Two years ago, England dropped five catches against the West Indies as it crashed out in the group stages in Dubai and last year\u2019s Ashes reverse in Australia was littered with more fielding errors.<\/p>\n<p>While England put down six chances in a group-stage win over the West Indies, there has been a significant improvement in its out-cricket at this tournament, with Sophie Ecclestone leading an impressive team effort against South Africa thanks to two fine catches.<\/p>\n<p>Dean paid tribute to the unusual methods of England fielding coach Nick Wilton, a former Sussex wicket-keeper, to prepare the team for playing under floodlights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe borrows his wife\u2019s glittery, sparkly jacket,\u201d Dean said. \u201cWe do pieces of fielding to each song that he has on and he pumps the music up to try to get us all really hyped up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the way he goes about getting us really passionate about fielding and doing different things so that it\u2019s fun every time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cWe\u2019re getting into that space where we really want to show off with our fielding.
