Australia Won The T20 Title Sixth Time, Skipper Meg Lanning Scripted History

The Australian team won the title by defeating South Africa by 19 runs in the final match of the Women’s T20 World Cup. And this is the sixth T20 title for the Australian team.

Under the leadership of Meg Lanning, the Australian team won the T20 World Cup 2023 title. Australia completed the title hat-trick of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup with this title. In 2018 and 2020, the Kangaroo team won the title under the same skipper.

In the final match, Beth Mooney played an unbeaten inning of 74 runs and contributed significantly to the Kangaroo team’s score of 156 runs. South Africa could only manage 127 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs, and Australia captured the trophy of the tournament.

With this match, skipper Meg Lanning also broke a big record of Ricky Ponting, Australia’s most successful captain. She became the captain to win the most ICC trophies as captain. Meg Lanning is now the captain with the most ICC trophy wins worldwide. The Australian team achieved this feat for the fifth time under his captaincy. However, she has left behind Ricky Ponting, the most successful captain who won the ICC title to the men’s Australian team 4 times under his captaincy.
