Wyatt powers England to eight-wicket win

On Jul 15, 2021

An unbeaten 89-run knock from Danni Wyatt powered England to an eight-wicket win over India in the final T20I in Chelmsford on Wednesday.

The win gave Heather Knight’s England a 10-6 win in the multi-format series.

England got off to a rocky start chasing 154, when India dismissed Tammy Beaumont early for just 11 runs, with Deepti Sharma dismissing the dangerous opener LBW in the 4th over.

However, a 112-run stand between Wyatt and Nat Sciver (42 off 36 balls) powered the host to a comfortable win.

Earlier, India elected to bat first on what looked like a batter-friendly surface in Chelmsford.

It came down to the captain and vice captain as Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana put together a 68-run stand for the third wicket.
