England opened their Women’s T20 World Cup campaign with a commanding victory over Sri Lanka. Danni Wyatt-Hodge scored an impressive century, amassing 105 off just 62 balls at Edgbaston. Her performance marked her fifth hundred in the tournament and three of her total five.

Wyatt-Hodge, whose wife Georgie recently welcomed their daughter Daisy, had struggled with scores below 50 in recent games before this match. England’s innings reached an unprecedented 219-1, surpassing their previous high score against Pakistan in 2023 by six runs.

Sri Lanka’s batting faltered as they conceded 23 fours and three sixes from Freya Kemp’s bowling, who claimed 4-21. The fielders also dropped three crucial catches, contributing to England’s dominance. Wyatt-Hodge celebrated her century with a touching gesture for her newborn daughter, Daisy.

Sri Lanka’s captain Chamari Athapaththu acknowledged their poor performance and emphasized the need for positive, fearless cricket against tougher opponents like New Zealand in upcoming matches.
