Our Asia tour: six of the best!

A look back at some of the best moments from our tour of India and Sri Lanka.

Wonderful Wyatt’s maiden ODI fifty

In the final ODI against India, Danni Wyatt led the charge in England’s run chase as they claimed victory in a dramatic chase.

Wyatt came to the crease with England in trouble at 49-5 but got to work on steadying the ship and steered England to victory with 56, her first ODI fifty.

Cross’ final-over magic

England could only post 119-6 in the final T20I with India but a miraculous final over from Kate Cross saw them pull off the unlikeliest of victories.

India needed just three runs off the final over with six wickets in hand but Cross removed two batters while conceding just one run to seal victory!

Three fifties in three innings for Jones

Amy Jones will look back on her time in Asia as a real coming-of-age tour as she found some remarkable form.

She notched up a hat-trick of consecutive fifties as she struck 79, 54 and 76 at the top of the order for England.

Winfield's unbelievable catch

You won’t see many better catches than this! In the second ODI against Sri Lanka Lauren Winfield produced a moment of real magic.

Waiting at slip she moved to her left as Sri Lanka captain Athapaththu lined up a reverse sweep. The contact she made was much finer and Winfield reacted by throwing herself back to her right and somehow clung on to the ball!   

Dream debut for Davies 

Making your international debut is a dream come true and for Freya Davies it was that and more. The young seamer took two wickets on her debut in the opening T20I to mark the occasion in style.

Davies featured in all three T20I matches against Sri Lanka and certainly made her mark with her pace and accuracy.

Brunt makes more history

There were milestones aplenty for Katherine Brunt during England’s tours to India and Sri Lanka. Most notably the fast bowler took her 250th international wicket in the second T20I against Sri Lanka.

Earlier in the tour Brunt took her fifth career ODI five-wicket haul and also moved up fifth in the all-time ODI wicket list.
