Wyatt-Hodge Hits the Heights as Surrey Crush Warwickshire

Danni Wyatt-Hodge’s dazzling century powered Surrey to a commanding 52-run win over Warwickshire in their opening Metro Bank One-Day Cup women’s competition fixture at Edgbaston.

Wyatt-Hodge smashed eight sixes and ten fours in a scintillating 124 from 80 balls as Surrey piled up 389 for nine. Jemima Spence (79, 48) and Alice Davidson-Richards (57, 75) added valuable support to transform the innings from a modest 95 for four.

Warwickshire’s Reply

Warwickshire replied with 337 for nine. From a promising 101 for one (Amu Surenkumar 59, 63), they were hit by three wickets in nine balls from left-arm spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman (three for 48).

Em Arlott (90, 64) and Issy Wong (45, 47) hit hard in a seventh-wicket stand of 103 in 13 overs but the top-order implosion had left far too much ground to make up.

Key Performances

  • Danni Wyatt-Hodge: 124 from 80 balls
  • Jemima Spence: 79 from 48 balls
  • Alice Davidson-Richards: 57 from 75 balls
  • Em Arlott: 90 from 64 balls

Surrey’s win was a deserving one, with their batsmen firing on all cylinders. Wyatt-Hodge’s century was the highlight of the match, and her partnership with Spence was instrumental in taking the game away from Warwickshire.
