Lord’s, London — England’s star opening batter Danni Wyatt-Hodge has etched her name permanently into cricket history. During the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final against Australia at Lord’s, she became the first player ever to cross the 300-run milestone in a single edition of the tournament.
The Historic Moment
Entering the blockbuster final, Wyatt-Hodge needed just 6 runs to reach the historic triple-century mark. She achieved the feat on the very first ball of the fourth over in England’s innings, cementing an incredible individual tournament run.
A Tournament to Remember: Wyatt-Hodge has been in sensational form throughout the 2026 campaign, highlighted by an unbeaten 105* against Sri Lanka, 65 against the West Indies, and a blistering 89* against New Zealand.
Shattering the Record Books
Wyatt-Hodge’s historic run has comfortably eclipsed the previous record for the most runs scored in a single edition of the tournament, which was held by Australia’s Beth Mooney.
| Player | Country | Matches | Runs | Tournament Edition |
| Danni Wyatt-Hodge | England | 7 | 300 | 2026 |
| Beth Mooney | Australia | 6 | 259 | 2020 |
| Meg Lanning | Australia | 6 | 257 | 2014 |
| Stafanie Taylor | West Indies | 6 | 246 | 2016 |
Record Hunt Continues
Already England’s most capped T20I player, Wyatt-Hodge is also closing in on another milestone. Sitting on 47 career T20I sixes, she is just three maximums away from becoming the first English woman to hit 50 sixes in the shortest format—a list currently led globally by Sophie Devine and Deandra Dottin (134 sixes each).
