ICC Women’s World Cup Final: Megan Schutt Sends Danni Wyatt’s Stump Flying With “Absolute Ripper”. Watch

Australia scripted history on Sunday as the Meg Lanning-led side registered their record-extending seventh 50-over Women’s World Cup title. The side displayed an all-round performance to get the better of England in the final and in the end, they registered a comprehensive 71-run win. After Alyssa Healy’s blazing 170-run knock, the bowlers got the job done and celebrations were on offering for Meg Lanning and team. Defending 357, Megan Schutt got Australia off to a perfect start as she got the better of Danni Wyatt.

In the third over of the innings, Schutt bowled a perfect inswinger. The ball landed on a good length and it drew Wyatt forward. The England opener just managed to push at the ball and there was a big gap between bat-pad, that allowed the ball to nip back in and hit the top of middle stump.

In the final against England, Alyssa Healy scored 170 runs to help Australia post 356/5 in 50 overs. Alana King and Jess Jonassen then spun a web around England to take six wickets between them to help Australia win a record-extending seventh Women’s World Cup title.

Healy’s 170 is the highest score in either a women’s or men’s World Cup final.

The opener was given support by Rachael Haynes and Beth Mooney.
