Danni Wyatt-Hodge spearheaded England to a commanding 3-0 T20I series victory in South Africa, finishing the top run-scorer. In the three-match series Wyatt-Hodge amassed 142 runs at an impressive average of 71 and a blistering strike rate of 163.21.
She also became the 10th player in WT20I history to reach 3000 runs, and the first England player to complete the milestone, with the next closest being Nat Sciver-Brunt at 2746 runs. She is also the second-fastest player (by virtue of deliveries faced) to reach this milestone, next only to Australia’s Alyssa Healy.
Her exceptional performances have helped Wyatt-Hodge edge past South African all-rounder Nadine de Klerk and Bangladesh batter Sharmin Akhter, to earn the monthly award.
Wyatt-Hodge paid tribute to her teammates for helping her claim the coveted monthly award.
“I am delighted and honoured to win this award. I’d like to say a big thank you to all my team-mates and coaches who I work with who encourage me every day,” she said.
“We had a great T20I series against South Africa where our team performed brilliantly with some great displays across the board.
“On a personal level, it’s been really pleasing to perform consistently and the aim individually and collectively as a team is to continue this as we build-up to the Ashes and another big year of cricket coming up next year.”
