England got their Women's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign off to a flying start.

Openers Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Amy Jones laid the platform with a 135-run opening stand.

Jones struck 53, while Wyatt-Hodge smashed an unbeaten 105 off 62 balls (13×4, 1×6).

Nat Sciver-Brunt added a quickfire 46* off 22 as England piled up 219/1 in 20 overs.

England struck at regular intervals, never allowing Sri Lanka to settle as they slumped to 67/5 (8.3).

Freya Kemp then struck three times in an over, reducing Sri Lanka to 92/8 in 13 overs, and finished with 4/21 (4).

Nilakshika Silva's 37 helped Sri Lanka reach 132, but England still cruised to a dominant 87-run win.
