<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAustralia reaffirmed their dominance in women’s cricket by lifting a record-extending seventh ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title on Sunday, prompting ICC chairman Jay Shah<\/a> to hail the tournament as another milestone in the sport’s remarkable growth.After Australia defeated hosts England by seven wickets in a commanding final at Lord’s, Shah congratulated both teams and declared that women’s cricket had entered a “golden era” following another memorable global event. <\/p>\n Shortly after Australia’s victory, Shah took to X to congratulate the newly crowned champions while also praising England for an outstanding tournament.“Congratulations to @CricketAus on winning their 7th @ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title with another incredible campaign,” Shah wrote.He also applauded the runners-up, adding, “Huge credit to @englandcricket too – fantastic runners-up but champions in spirit.”Reflecting on the quality of the tournament, Shah highlighted the rapid rise of the women’s game.“This tournament reminded us why women’s cricket is unmissable – power, passion, and pure class on display from start to finish.”He concluded by thanking everyone involved in the competition before delivering a strong message about the future of the sport.“Thank you to both teams and everyone who made this World Cup so special. Women’s cricket is in a golden era!” he wrote.The International Cricket Council also celebrated Australia’s success, posting: “Australia reign supreme once again to seal the Women’s #T20WorldCup title in emphatic fashion.”<\/p>\n Australia completed an unbeaten campaign by chasing down England’s 150\/4 with 17 balls to spare, registering the highest successful run chase in the history of a Women’s T20 World Cup final.The victory also ended England’s perfect record in Women’s World Cups hosted on home soil and extended Australia’s astonishing tally to seven titles from eight final appearances.Beth Mooney<\/a> once again proved the difference on the biggest stage, anchoring the chase with a superb 64 after combining with Phoebe Litchfield for a match-defining 100-run partnership.Although Georgia Voll departed early to Lauren Bell, Mooney and Litchfield quickly took control, powering Australia to 62\/1 in the powerplay before taking the match away from England.Litchfield narrowly missed a deserved half-century, falling for 48, while Mooney registered her ninth Women’s T20 World Cup fifty to equal Nat Sciver-Brunt’s record for the most fifties in the tournament’s history.After Mooney departed for 64, Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner calmly guided Australia over the finish line, with Perry collecting her seventh Women’s T20 World Cup winners’ medal.Earlier, England recovered from 70\/4 thanks to captain Nat Sciver-Brunt’s unbeaten 58 and Freya Kemp’s 44, with the pair adding 80 runs for the fifth wicket to post a competitive total.However, Australia’s disciplined bowling, led by Lucy Hamilton, Kim Garth, Annabel Sutherland and Sophie Molineux, restricted England just enough before another composed batting display sealed the title.<\/div>\nJay Shah celebrates Australia’s triumph, England’s campaign
