Mooney powers Australia to Women’s T20 World Cup title. Playing their seventh straight T20 World Cup final, Australia women won their second consecutive title
At a buzzing Newlands in Cape Town on Sunday, Beth Mooney hit a match-winning unbeaten 74 as Australia won the Women’s T20 World Cup by a score of 19 runs over the hosts South Africa.
Knowing that South Africa prefers to set a total, Australia won the toss and decided to bat. In their 20 overs, they scored 156 for 6, which was par. From the outset, the home team found it difficult to keep up with the pace and could only muster 137 for six in response.
Although Laura Wolvaardt produced a brilliant 61 runs for South Africa, there was insufficient support for her, and Australia’s deft use of pace and length for much of the innings slowed the scoring rate.
Pre-match favourites Australia defeated a South African team competing in their maiden final, and their prior success with bat and ball on a slow pitch allowed them to defend the crown they had won at home in 2020.
