England Women: 1st to score 200 runs in WT20WC
At first, England Women captain Heather Knight chose to bat first in that last Group 2 game at Cape Town. With the help of the opener Danni Wyatt (59 off 33 balls; seven fours and two sixes), Nat Sciver-Brunt (81 not out off 40 balls; 12 fours and only six) and wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones (47 off 31 balls; five fours and only six), the English side set the mammoth total of 213/5 in 20 overs.
In that same innings, Pakistan star Nida Dar (126 WT20I wickets) also became the leading wicket-taker in Women’s T20 international history after bettering the previous record of West Indies off-spinner Anisa Mohammed’s 125 WT20I wickets.
England Women won by record-breaking 114 runs
In that same WT20WC 2023 Group 2 match, England Women won by 114 runs after restricting Pakistan Women to 99/9 (20 overs). It was the largest victory margin (by runs) in the WT20WC history as the English team broke the previous record of South Africa Women’s 113-run win against Thailand Women at Canberra in 2020.
