The dream of the Women in Blue to finally win a World Cup was shattered once again at the colosseum of the cricket that is the Melbourne Cricket Ground at the hands of the defending champions Australia on Sunday. On a day which was pipped as a rare opportunity to clinch the holy grail, the Women in Blue once again finishes in one of those ‘so close yet so far’ territory with the dominant Aussies handing them an 85-run shellacking in what turned out to be the one-sided finale in front of a record 86,174 fans.

India was pegged back early when Aussie openers in Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney came out all guns blazing with the bat. That India was feeling the pressure of expectations a lot more than the Aussies, was quite evident from the very first over when Deepti Sharma dished out full-toss, which Healy took a full toll. Both Healy and Mooney got reprieves early-on in their innings and the duo made full use of the opportunity to bat India out of the game with a whirlwind 115-run-stand for the first wicket.

Wishes continue to pour in for the Women in Blue

India eventually pegged the Aussies back, restricting them to 4-184 when at the stage they looked well on course to rack up a total in excess of 200. The target of 185 was always going to be arduous but by the time India’s powerplay was over, it had meandered onto the into the ‘impossible’ territory with the cream of their batting-unit back in the hut for a grand total of 30 runs.

The dream eventually ended with India getting bowled out for 99 in 19.1 overs and since then wishes have continued to pour in for the Women in Blue from every nook and corner of the country including Bollywood stars like Ranveer Singh and Taapsee Pannu.

Ranveer Singh posted the picture of the Women in Blue engrossed in a huddle and captioned it as “Proud of you Team India.”

Meanwhile, Taapsee Pannu motivated the girls by writing that their best is still yet to come. “Ok, so not our day… but we learn n move ahead… girls our best is yet to come. #T20WorldCup2020 #INDvAUS Congratulations for the 5th time Aussies !!!”
