A big miracle happened in T20I, for the first time a female player from this country touched the figure of 3000 runs.
Every day more records are made and broken in T20I cricket. Many times players create such records which are very important not only for the player but for the entire team. Something similar was seen in a T20I match played on 27 November. In this match, there was a clash between South Africa and England in which a player created a record which could not be achieved by that team before today.
Actually, a 3-match T20I series is being played between South Africa and England. England won the first match of this series. The second match was played at Willowmoor Park, Benoni. Batting first, Daniel Wyatt-Hodge and Nate Sciver-Brunt played amazing innings. In this way, England managed to make a big score of 204 runs by losing 4 wickets in 20 overs. During this, Daniel Wyatt-Hodge played an inning of 78 runs in just 45 balls with the help of 15 fours and 1 six. Thanks to this inning, Danny Wyatt created a new history for England in T20I cricket. Danny Wyatt became only the second player for England to score 3000 runs in T20I cricket. Not only this, she is the second female cricketer from England, who has achieved the great feat of scoring 3000 runs in the shortest format of cricket.
Danny Wyatt included in special list
It is noteworthy that Danny Wyatt is the 19th cricketer in the world in both men’s and women’s categories to have scored 3000 runs in T20I. She is the 10th female cricketer in the world to do so. Women cricketers have now overtaken men’s cricketers in scoring 3000 runs in T20I cricket. The record of scoring most runs in T20I is in the name of India’s Rohit Sharma while among women, New Zealand’s Suzy Bates is at the first place.
