Danny Wyatt made a world record… This happened for the first time in the Women’s T20 World Cup, 6 year old mega record destroyed

New Delhi. A golden chapter was added to the pages of history at Lord’s Cricket Ground, which is known as the Mecca of cricket, which the future generations will always remember. England’s legendary and most experienced opening batsman Danny Wyatt-Hodge has achieved a position in the history of women’s cricket, where no batsman in the world has been able to reach till date. Wyatt-Hodge was aiming for a big record as she entered the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 being played against Australia, and she achieved it in the initial moments of the match.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge has become the first player in the world to cross the magical figure of 300 runs in any one edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup. To achieve this historic feat, he needed only six runs in the final match. As soon as he completed his sixth run in the fourth over of England’s innings, the entire Lord’s ground echoed with thunderous applause. With this he registered his name in golden letters in the history of the tournament.

Records’ mistress and ‘red-hot’ form
Danny Wyatt-Hodge, the experienced player who has won the most caps for England in Women’s T20 Internationals, has proved to be a threat to the opposition bowlers throughout this tournament. His bat has been on fire continuously in this year’s World Cup. Wyatt-Hodge had started the tournament in exactly the manner that any batsman could only dream of.

On June 12, he created havoc in England’s very first match against Sri Lanka at the Birmingham ground. Wyatt-Hodge faced just 62 balls and played an explosive century of 105 runs with the help of 13 fours and 1 six. This innings decided the direction of his form for the entire tournament. However, his bat remained a bit silent in the next few matches. On 16 June, against Ireland in Southampton, he scored 16 runs in 16 balls, which included 3 fours. On June 20, against Scotland at the ground in Leeds, she returned to the pavilion after scoring only 7 runs, where she played 11 balls.

Big player in knockouts and big matches
As the tournament moved towards the knockouts and bigger matches, Wyatt-Hodge shifted gears and got back to her best form. On June 24, against West Indies at the historic ground of Lord’s, he played a very intelligent and aggressive inning of 65 runs with the help of 8 fours in 42 balls.

After this came the match at The Oval on June 27, which shattered New Zealand’s morale. In the semi-final race against 2024 World Cup winning team New Zealand, Wyatt-Hodge played a blazing inning of unbeaten 89 runs in just 53 balls. During this innings, 15 fours and 1 skyscraper six came from his bat. On the basis of this one-sided performance, he took England very close to the title match. After this, on July 2, in the semi-final match against South Africa at The Oval itself, he scored 12 runs in 9 balls with the help of 2 fours and helped the team get the ticket for the final. And on July 5, in this great match against Australia, she created history by scoring 6 unbeaten runs with the help of 1 four in just 4 balls and became the first female cricketer to reach the peak of 300 runs.

Beth Mooney’s record destroyed
In this historic journey, Danny Wyatt-Hodge has left behind the six-year-old record of Australia’s legendary batsman Beth Mooney. Earlier, the record of scoring most runs in a single T20 World Cup edition was in the name of Australia’s Beth Mooney. During the 2020 T20 World Cup, Mooney batted brilliantly and scored a total of 259 runs in six matches. But this year that record proved to be dwarf in front of Wyatt-Hodge’s hunger for runs. Wyatt-Hodge has played a total of seven matches including the title match against Australia and in these seven innings she has given a new benchmark to women’s cricket.
