Danni Wyatt has put the Women’s Premier League (WPL) teams on notice with her blazing knock of 75 in the first match of the T20I series between India and England.

Wyatt surprisingly had no takers during the first edition of the WPL as she went unsold and the England opener seemed to be on a mission to make a big statement.

In the first T20I match between England and India’s women’s teams, England put up a formidable total, thanks in large part to the efforts of Nat Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt. The match began with a rocky start for England as they lost two early wickets in the very first over bowled by Renuka Singh Thakur, leaving them at a precarious 2 for 2.

However, the innings took a dramatic turn as Nat Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt came together at the crease and stitched together a stunning partnership. Sciver-Brunt showcased her class with a powerful knock of 77 runs from 53 balls, an innings that was marked by her superior strike rate against pace bowling. Her performance was a testament to her ability to dominate the game, particularly in the face of India’s varied bowling attack.

Wyatt’s innings was characterised by aggressive hitting and crucial boundaries that kept the scoreboard ticking at a healthy rate.

The England opener was particularly severe on India’s spin attack as she and Sciver-Brunt put on a mammoth 138-run stand.

Wyatt hit 8 boundaries and two sixes in her innings. The England opener played a big role as the visitors put on a score of 197 runs in their 20 overs, which was given a late flourish by Freya Kemp.
