Performing in the Big Moments

86,174 spectators at the ground, 1.231 million viewers in Australia, millions more watching from all around the globe. From dancing cricket bats to literal and figurative fireworks, the Women’s World Cup final was quite the spectacle.

Although leading into the tournament as clear favourites, Australia did not have an easy ride to the MCG. Losing to India in the first round, being 3/10 in a must-win match against Sri Lanka, and then losing spearhead Ellyse Perry, created plenty of hurdles for the Australians to overcome.
