Mandhana's career-best 80 not out had elegance written all over it as the Indian women's cricket team reached 132/1 at stumps.
Mandhana has shown that she is adept at adjusting her batting style to suit the requirements of all three formats of the game.
The 25-year-old said the quality of domestic players has improved in the men's game since the advent of the Twenty20 league and the same could be the case for women's cricket.
The two stars are set to return to India for varying reasons.
Wyatt smashed an unbeaten 89 off only 56 balls to overshadow an elegant 70 by Smriti Mandhana as England women claimed an easy eight-wicket victory over India in the third T20I.
The 20-year-old joins her T20I skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, opener Shafali Verma and all-rounder Deepti Sharma in the 100-ball tournament.
Sindhu, who had already won two silver and two bronze medals at the event, defeated her nemesis Nozomi Okuhara 21-7, 21-7 in the summit clash that lasted just 38 minutes on August 26 last year to become the first badminton world champion from India.
Left-handed opener Mandhana won the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award for the 'Women's Cricketer of the Year' for scoring 669 runs in 12 ODIs along with 622 runs in 25 T20 Internationals in 2018.
Opening batswoman Mandhana and leg-spinner Poonam Yadav were also included in the ICC Women's ODI Team of the Year, which has New Zealander Suzie Bates as captain.
India thus notched up their fourth victory in as many match to top group B.
