Historic Achievement by Danni Wyatt-Hodge

In a remarkable feat, England's Danni Wyatt-Hodge has etched her name in the record books as the first player to surpass 300 runs in a single ICC Women's T20 World Cup. This achievement came despite her modest performance in the final against Australia at Lord's Cricket Ground in 2026, where she scored only eight runs off nine balls. Nevertheless, she concluded the tournament as the leading run-scorer, amassing a total of 302 runs across seven innings, which included one century and two half-centuries, boasting an impressive average of 60.40 and a strike rate of 149.50.
