T20 World Cup: Hosts England launched the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 in emphatic fashion, defeating Sri Lanka by 87 runs at Edgbaston on Friday after posting a tournament-record total of 219/1.
The score of 219/1 beat England’s highest score in a WT20I to date and set the scene for a commanding performance by Nat Sciver-Brunt's team as they kickstarted their campaign with a bang.
Put into bat, England started slowly but accelerated as the powerplay ended, ending on 51/0 at the end of the first six overs, an opening 135-run partnership between Amy Jones and Danni Wyatt-Hodge laid the foundations for a big score.
