After Australia defeated England to win their seventh ICC T20 World Cup title at Lord’s, ICC Chairman Jay Shah praised women’s cricket as being in a “golden era” and said the competition demonstrated why the sport is “unmissable.” After choosing to bowl before chasing down the mark in 17.1 overs, Australia held England to 150, with Beth Mooney leading the way with 64.
Australia captain Sophie Molineux was presented the trophy by Shah.
“Congratulations to Cricket Australia on winning their seventh ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title with another incredible campaign. Huge credit to England cricket too – fantastic runners-up but champions in spirit,” Shah posted on X.
“This tournament reminded us why women’s cricket is unmissable – power, passion, and pure class on display from start to finish. Thank you to both teams and everyone who made this World Cup so special. Women’s cricket is in a golden era,” he added.
