Australia’s bowling attack, led by players like Annabel Sutherland and Sophie Molineux, was outstanding throughout the group stage. England’s batting depth and home advantage made them look very strong. India showed resilience, especially in their chase against Bangladesh, while West Indies displayed the power-hitting that took them to the title in the previous edition.
South Africa’s Tazmin Brits produced one of the standout knocks of the tournament with an unbeaten 114 against Netherlands, but it wasn’t enough to take them through on NRR.
