ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020: Best XI from the tournament
In the end, Australia showed their dominance and defended their title yet again.
2. Alyssa Healy
There was a lot of talk about Alyssa Healy ahead of this T20 World Cup. She wasn’t in the best of forms and had registered a string of single-digit scores. However, she saved her best for the big tournament and was absolutely magnificent.
The Australian wicket-keeper batsman scored 236 runs at an average of 39.33. She had a strike-rate of 156.29 in this tournament. Moreover, she was the difference-maker in the final. Healy walked out and scored a fine 39-ball 75 which included seven fours and five sixes. Hence, with three fifties from six games, she makes it to the best XI as the second opener.
3. Beth Mooney
If it was Alyssa Healy doing all the hitting at one end, it was Beth Mooney calming things down at the other end. The formed a potent opening pair for Australia and one of the reasons why Australia went all the way in this T20 World Cup was the form of their two openers. Mooney was consistent throughout the tournament.
No other player scored more runs than Mooney in this T20 World Cup. The left-handed opener scored 259 runs at an average of 64.75 and had a strike-rate of 125.12. She had a poor start to the tournament but she picked up pace and was Australia’s best batter. However, with Shafali Verma and Alyssa Healy already in the side, Mooney is slotted in at No. 3 in this best XI for the T20 World Cup.
