During the final match of the recently concluded ICC Women’s T20 World Cup between Australia and India in Melbourne, Australia beat India by 85 runs to lift their fifth Women’s T20 World Cup.
Chasing a formidable 185-run target, India were bundled out for 99 in 19.1 overs. Losing wickets from the word go put the visitors in a difficult position which they failed to recover from.
Australia pacer Megan Schutt registered bowling figures of 3.1-0-18-4 to be the pick of their bowlers in the night of the final. All-rounder Jess Jonassen, who opened the bowling with Schutt, also put India on the back foot with bowling figures of 4-0-20-3.
With Australia winning five out of the seven Women’s T20 World Cups so far, it speaks highly their prowess in not just the format but in moments when it matters the most.
The occasion had it in it to be duly celebrated and the Australian players didn’t let the opportunity go waste. With American singing sensation Katy Perry in the house (for the closing ceremony), the post-match presentation ceremony was followed by a live-in concert at the MCG.
With lights turned off, Perry performed at the centre of the historic ground with the winning team accompanying her on the stage. The videos surfacing across social media platforms of players celebrating jubilantly put them at the top as far as the best-ever World Cup celebrations are concerned.
