Australia vs South Africa, Women's T20 World Cup, Final Highlights: Powerful knock from Beth Mooney followed by a strong bowling performance from the entire unit, guided Australia to their sixth Women's T20 World Cup title on Sunday as they defeated South Africa by 19 runs. Australia's previous victories came in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2018 and 2020. Set a target of 157 for victory, South Africa were restricted to 137 for six as their hopes of lifting the trophy on their maiden appearance in the final went up in smoke. The Proteas opener Laura Wolvaardt kept the match alive till she was around, but her dismissal at 61 (48 balls) in the 17th over ended their title hopes. Australia would thank Mooney for the way she played despite losing her opening partner Alyssa Healy (18). The all-rounder rebuilt the innings in a cool and composed manner as she guided her team to 156/6 in 20 overs. (SCORECARD)
