The ICC women's T20I team rankings were updated after the T20 World Cup final between Australia and England. Here's how the teams stack up.
Australia clinched the T20 World Cup title for the seventh time, going past England in the final at Lord's on Sunday, July 5. The Sophie Molineux-led side went through their campaign unbeaten, while runners-up England lost only the decider.
Molineux won the toss and put England in to bat on a wicket which seemed slow in nature. The hosts got off to a shaky start but Alice Capsey tried to up the ante with some convincing stroke play. However, the Australia skipper got the better of her. England could put up 150-4 on the board, on the back of a steady 58* from skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt.
The chase was completely one-sided, as Australia did not allow England a way back into the game. A 100-run stand between Beth Mooney (64) and Phoebe Litchfield (48) was the highlight of the Australia innings. None of the England bowlers were effective as Molineux and Co got to the target with 17 balls to spare.
