In order to get over her “heartbreak” about not being offered a Women’s Premier League contract, England opener Danni Wyatt says she is focused on helping England win the Women’s T20 World Cup. In order to advance to the final on Sunday, England will play hosts South Africa on Friday.
Danni Wyatt enters the match in fine form after scoring a quick 59 off 33 balls to help England set a T20 World Cup record with a total of 213-5 against Pakistan on Tuesday. Nat Sciver-Brunt (81 not out off 40 balls), who maintained her impressive tournament form with a second consecutive half-century, and Wyatt shared a 74-run partnership.

After a sluggish start to the competition in general, Danni Wyatt was delighted with her performance against Pakistan.

It may be nasty at times, especially when used as an opener. “You just have to have faith in yourself, keep moving forward, and keep going to them.
It might be tempting to simply throw up the towel after a few failures, but I told myself to keep being bold and lead the team to success. “We have been granted permission to start with ball one at the top of the order.
