A clinical 85-run victory at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground has seen Australia lift their fifth ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title. Having won five out of seven Women’s T20 World Cups till date, Australia sure have dominated the tournament.
After their captain Meg Lanning won the toss and chose to bat, Australia posted a match-winning 184/4 in 20 overs. A 115-tun opening partnership between Alyssa Healy (75) and Beth Mooney (78*) laid a perfect foundation for the hosts.
In the second innings, Australia new-ball bowlers in Megan Schutt (3.1-0-18-4) and Jess Jonassen (4-0-20-3) played pivotal roles in bundling out India for 99 in 19.1 overs.
Aakash Chopra slams fan
Following India’s succumbing to pressure at the MCG, plentiful former and current Indian cricketers expressed support for the team who had remained unbeaten in the tournament before today.
Former opening batsman Aakash Chopra was among the many Indian cricketers who tweeted for the women’s team. Chopra laid emphasis on India and Australia losing to each other once in the tournament.
A known figure on the social media platform, Chopra received a comment from Pakistani fan who compared India’s loss to their loss to Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 in England.
Probably in no mood to entertain such uncalled for comparisons, Chopra took a dig at the fan by asking him the number of ICC knockouts Pakistan have played across formats and gender since the Champions Trophy.
