- Meg Lanning’s team have now won both editions after ensuring a winning lead in the 2017-2020 championship
Captain Meg Lanning received the trophy from ICC Women’s Cricket Manager, Holly Colvin, after the T20I series match between Australia and India in Melbourne.
Meg Lanning: “It’s pleasing to have won the ICC Women’s Championship for the second time and of course, to have secured our spot at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2021 in New Zealand next year. It’s going to be a tightly fought tournament and one we’re looking forward to.
The ICC Women’s Championship provides hosts New Zealand and four other top teams direct passage to the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2021 with other teams still having a chance to qualify through the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2020 to be held in Sri Lanka from 3-19 July.
Australia are at the top of the points table with 34 points from 18 matches, and a series still to play against South Africa next month. England and South Africa are the other teams to have qualified for the World Cup with one slot still open. England have finished with 29 points from 21 matches while South Africa have 22 from 18.
