England batter Danni Wyatt-Hodge has created history and become the first player in the history of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup to achieve a huge feat despite failing to make a big impact on the summit clash against Australia at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in 2026. The opening batter was dismissed for just eight runs in nine balls after crossing a massive milestone.
However, she finished the tournament as the highest run-getter with 302 runs in seven innings. The veteran cricketer made one century and two half-centuries while batting at an exceptional average of 60.40 and a strike-rate of 149.50.
