ICC Women's World Cup Final: Twitter Applauds Nat Sciver's Valiant Century vs Australia

Australia showed their might on Sunday as they defeated England by 71 runs in the summit clash to win a record-extending seventh ICC Women's World Cup title. Alyssa Healy scored 170 with the bat as Australia posted 356/5 in the allotted 50 overs. England had the big task of trying to chase down this massive score, but Natalie Sciver brought her best to the middle and kept England in the game. In the end, Sciver ran out of partners at the other end, and who knows what would have happened, if someone had provided support to her.

Sciver played an unbeaten knock of 148 off 121 balls with the help of 15 fours and 1 six. This is the third-highest score in the history of World Cup finals and she fell just one run short of surpassing Adam Gilchrist to become the second highest-scorer in World Cup finals.

Several cricketers and fans took to Twitter to applaud Sciver for keeping England in the game and playing a special knock.

"Extremely impressive from @natsciver #WomensWorldCup2022 #AUSvsENG," tweeted India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
