Australia women's cricket team registered an emphatic 85-run win over India to clinch the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, a record fifth time in their history. Australia are the most successful side in the tournament's history, having earlier won the title in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2018
Harmanpreet Kaur-led India, who entered the final after their semifinal against England was washed out in Sydney, failed to rise to the occasion in the final. They had progressed to the summit clash by the virtue of topping Group A. In the group stage, India had won all four of their matches.
For India, Deepti Sharma top-scored with 33 runs as they lost seven of their batters for a single digit score in a tough chase.
Megan Schutt led the bowling attack with four wickets, while Jess Jonassen chipped in with three as Australia bowled out India for 99 in 19.1 overs.
