Watch: Ashleigh Gardner Repeats Feat From 2020 T20 World Cup Final In Women's World Cup Final

Despite her poor batting display in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup final vs England, Australia's Ashleigh Gardner was once again pivotal for her side as she took the victory-sealing catch to dismiss tailender Anya Shrubsole. Gardner had repeated similar heroics in the 2020 T20 World Cup final against India, which Australia won by 85 runs. Gardner took a running catch to dismiss Poonam Yadav as India were bowled out for 99 runs in 19.1 overs.

On Sunday in Christchurch, Jess Jonassen delivered a full ball, around off, and Shrubsole skied it over mid-off where Gardner backtracked and caught it safely to seal the title for Australia.

Here is the video of her final catch from both finals:
