Another global white-ball triumph, their fourth in a row, has again raised the question over whether this Australian women’s team is the best in history
‘The key is they keep evolving,’ says Nasser Hussein“We want to win everything,” Ash Gardner said before the T20 World Cup final – and Australia’s women’s cricket team keep doing just that after their triumph in Cape Town underlined their status as one of the great sport teams in history.
This was the fourth successive World Cup white-ball triumph the team has enjoyed – three in T20 and one in the 50-over format – stretching back to 2018, with last year’s Commonwealth Games title thrown in for good measure. In ODIs, the record is even more startling, as they have won their last 15 going back to a loss against India’s women in Mackay in September 2021. It is now just one 50-over loss in their last 42, going back nearly six years. And have not lost a Test match in nine years.
Nasser Hussain, England’s former men’s team captain, said: “The key is they keep evolving. Any sporting organisation will tell you that if you stay at your level, others will eventually catch up.
