The exciting ICC Women’s T20 World Cup eighth edition has concluded with the mighty Aussies being crowned champions for the record sixth time. Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 74-run knock helped Australia defeat the hosts South Africa by a margin of 19 runs.

Laura Wolvaardt played a brilliant knock in the last three games for South Africa, scoring three consecutive half-centuries. She helped her side qualify for the finals for the first time in the history of World Cup. Her three half-centuries include the one that she scored in the finals. Though she did amass 61 runs, sadly couldn’t get over the line. In the end, the Aussies prevailed over the Proteas by a slender margin to claim the coveted World Cup title in Women’s Cricket.
