Wyatt-Hodge backs Dunkley ahead of T20 World Cup despite low scores
Summary

England batter Danni Wyatt-Hodge has shown support for opening partner Sophia Dunkley amid her struggles with the bat in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup. Dunkley scored only 10 runs in her latest outing against India, maintaining a highest score of just 26 over five internationals this summer. Despite Wyatt-Hodge's return to the team after maternity leave creating competition for top-order spots, Dunkley has kept her place as opener. Wyatt-Hodge praised Dunkley's intent at the crease and expressed confidence that a big score is imminent. England prepares for its next match on June 3 against India in Taunton before the World Cup begins on June 12.
