The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 saw the emergence of new heroes to the women’s game like dynamic young Indian opener Shefali Verma. The 16-year-old girl from Haryana surprised and entertained one-and-all with her enterprising and aggressive striking at the top of the order. In five matches, Shefali Verma scored 163 runs while maintaining a staggering strike-rate of 158.25.

Australian opener Alyssa Healy also excelled with the bat as she terrorised bowlers with three half-centuries en route to a title win for Australia. Even in the final, she scored a 39-ball 75 against the Indian bowlers which was fuelled with seven boundaries and five blazing sixes. For her masterful knock, Alyssa Healy was named the ‘Player of the Match’ as Australia went on to lift their fifth ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
