Player of the match Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 53-ball 74 did most to put the pressure on the South Africans in their first-ever World Cup final appearance on Sunday as the Australians, opting to bat, amassed 6-156 at Newlands.
Among a fine combined effort from the Australian bowlers, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown and Jess Jonassen also each took a key wicket as the Australians won a 13th world title in all in white-ball cricket. Earlier, Mooney’s quickfire 15-ball 33 stand with No.6 Ellyse Perry ensured the defending champions scored 46 in the death overs.
“I probably didn’t have a great plan through the middle there, stepping across and trying to hit it too square but once I stayed a bit still and hit a bit straighter, it wasn’t too bad.”Getty Images Gardner’s 41-ball 46-run second-wicket stand with Mooney, broke upon the introduction of Tryon as the 25-year-old holed out to long-off.
