CAPE TOWN : England go into Friday’s Women’s Twenty20 World Cup semi-final against hosts South Africa on a high after setting a record-breaking score this week but also tempered by personal disappointment, opener Danni Wyatt said on Thursday.
“We've been given a licence at the top of the order to go from ball one. We've got the depth and the order to allow us to do that. Even if it's going to be tricky conditions, we're still going to keep going hard,” Wyatt told a news conference as England bid to reach the final for the fifth time in eight editions.
Wyatt’s half century came after the shock of her going unsold at the auction of players for the inaugural season of the Women's Premier League in India next month.
