Doing it for Daisy: Wyatt-Hodge reveals inspiration for ton

Edgbaston, June 13 (UNI) Centurion Danni Wyatt-Hodge has revealed her new baby Daisy was the inspiration behind her match-winning knock for England against Sri Lanka in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup opener here.
Wyatt-Hodge only welcomed her first child into the world last month and the England veteran wasted little time in showing what it meant to her as she guided her side to a first-up victory over Sri Lanka in Birmingham with an unbeaten innings of 105 not out on Friday.
It was Wyatt-Hodge's third T20I century of her career as the damaging right-hander became just the second England player to achieve the feat at a Women's T20 World Cup after former skipper Heather Knight reached triple figures against Thailand at the same event in Australia in 2020.
