Australia women have always been a tough nut to crack in International Cricket Council (ICC) events and have been the most successful side in ICC events. Their sheer dominance is highlighted by their 6 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup titles and this is no mean feat.

Australia women have always sparkled with rhythm and rhyme in ICC events and that is proven by their exceptional cricketing prowess that they have displayed in these marquee and prestigious events.
Australia women had won their first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title in 2010 when they had defeated New Zealand women in the finals by a slender margin of 3 runs.

Ellyse Perry has been one of the most dominating all-rounders in this format. She can bat, bowl and field exceedingly well, and is always a crucial factor to watch out for, when the opposition teams make strategies.
Perry has mustered 1973 runs in T20Is and has bagged 126 wickets in this format. Her presence infuses confidence into the side and she will be one of the key players in this ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign for Australia.
