Australia had a glorious win, beating India by 85 runs with a crowd of 86,174 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

When the whole world is celebrating Women’s Day, talking and sharing stories about their remarkable achievements, here’s one more feat about them from the Sports World.

It was on this day, four years ago, 8 March 2020, that Australia registered a remarkable victory clinching the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup for the fifth time defeating India by 85 runs.

Key Players of the Match

Alyssa Healy and Beth Monney emerged as star performers throughout the match. Their 115-run partnership fueled the game and made Australia more offensive. Healy’s innings, spanning 39 balls, featured 7 fours and 5 sixes before she was caught at long-on by Veda Krishnamurthy off the bowling of left-arm spinner Radha Yadav. Mooney then shouldered the burden and crafted unbeaten innings, striking 10 boundaries to take the team closer to the 190-run mark.
