ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020: Best XI from the tournament

There was a massive build-up to the final of the 2020 edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. Australia faced India at the MCG in front of a massive crowd. It was expected to be a cracking game but the pressure got to the Indian team as they crumbled under pressure. Australia lifted their fifth T20 World Cup title.

England and South Africa were the other semi-finalists. While the former were knocked out because of rain, South Africa crumbled in yet another knockout game. The likes of West Indies, Pakistan and New Zealand did play well and threatened to challenge the other four teams but fell short. In the end, Australia showed their dominance and defended their title yet again.

Thus, with the tournament coming to an end, here’s a look at the best XI from this 2020 edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup.

1. Shafali Verma

There was one constant question that went around, what were you doing when you were 16 years old? Shafali Verma was leading the charge with the bat for her country in the T20 World Cup at that age. She might’ve failed in the big final but she was outstanding throughout this tournament.

The 16-year-old Indian opener scored 163 runs at a strike-rate of 158.25 which is the best by any player in this tournament. She smoked nine sixes in this T20 World Cup which is the joint-most in this tournament. Verma was a star for the Indian team and was one of the reasons why India reached the final.
