Let nobody affect you into believing this was a choke.
Truth be informed, this was a sport of excessive-depth cricket, becoming of a grand finale. The stress was immense, and Australia, extra expert and adept at dealing with massive-match temperament – this was their seventh straight last – got here up triumphs to clinch their sixth T20 World Cup title and their third in a row.
South Africa wanted 59 off 30 balls at one stage, with Woolvardt pumping a packed Newlands crowd with a few of the most aesthetically-pleasing photographs. Then, a lot to their agony, she swiped throughout the road to a full supply from Megan Schutt and was trapped lbw. South African hearts sank, a teary Woolvardt trudged off slowly, and boisterous applause gave approach to shocked silence.
