Wyatt was aggressive from the off and made her first half-century of the tournament in just 28 balls in the 12th over.

England will now face South Africa in the T20 World Cup semi-final later today at 1pm. Go well, Danni and Freya!

Century for Fynn Hudson-Prentice

After speaking to the Club’s YouTube channel last week, Fynn Hudson-Prentice had mentioned that he hadn’t scored as many runs as he’d liked to this winter, but that changed this week when he made a brilliant century for Australia Club, Prospect.

Fynn’s 122 came from just 85 balls and the allrounder also picked up a wicket in each innings. You can check out the full scorecard here.

Regina Suddahazai takes hat-trick for Italy
