If a list of teams that have won the most ODI World Cups in men’s cricket is prepared, then Australia’s name will come at the top. This team is a five-time world champion. But Australia’s women’s team is ahead of men. This team has won the ODI World Cup seven times so far. It was started by the women’s team long before the men’s team. On this day i.e. on February 7, Australia’s women’s team won its second ODI World Cup. This thing is from the year 1982. This team defeated England in the final.
At the same time, five years later, in 1987, Australia’s men’s team won its first ODI World Cup. Earlier, the women’s team had won two World Cups. Australia’s women’s team won its first ODI World Cup in 1978. This team has also made a hat-trick of winning the World Cup because after 1982, Australia’s women’s team became the world champion in the World Cup played in 1988.
stick to the trick
At that time the ODI match was of 60 overs and not of 50 overs. This final match between the women’s teams of Australia and England was played in Christchurch. But in this match, there was no accumulation of runs, rather runs were scored with the trick of the turtle. The women’s team of England had won the toss and batted first. This team could score only 151 runs after playing full 60 overs and lost five wickets. Jane Allen scored the highest 53 runs for the team. Captain Susan Gottman scored 29 and Rachel Hayhoe Flint also scored 29 runs. Opener Janette Brittin was successful in scoring 17 runs. Chris Watt Maugh was able to score only nine runs. Gilnis Hullah scored only one run.
For Australia, Sharon Tredia took 2 wickets in 12 overs by giving 36 runs in 2 maidens. Lynn Fulston took two wickets for 20 runs in 12 overs. Mary Cornish could take only one wicket.
Match won 1 over ago
This target was not very big. Not at all against 60 overs, but Australia achieved this target of 152 runs one over earlier i.e. in the 59th over by losing seven wickets. Jane Jacobs scored the most runs for the team. He played an inning of 37 runs. Karen Reed contributed 32 runs. Captain Sharon played an inning of 25 runs. Mary Cornish remained unbeaten after scoring 24 runs. The surprising thing was that England’s bowlers had taken four wickets in this innings while Australia’s three batsmen were run out.
