With 11 years having passed since the inaugural tournament in England, we’ve witnessed plenty of thrills and spills, but a few moments stand head and shoulders above the rest.

2009 - Brunt's brilliance at Lord's

There’ll be few better Women라이브 바카라 T20 World Cup memories for England fans than those of the inaugural 2009 tournament – and what better way to make your mark on the world stage than by lifting the trophy on home soil?

England and New Zealand contested the inaugural Women라이브 바카라 T20 World Cup final at Lord라이브 바카라, with the host nation bowling out the White Ferns for 85 thanks to Brunt라이브 바카라 opening spell of three for six.

England shone from start to finish, with Claire Taylor taking the Player of the Series accolade while Holly Colvin finished with a tournament-high nine wickets.

Australia began their unparalleled run of World Cup success ten years ago when they edged out New Zealand by three runs in Barbados - but if it hadn’t been for Ellyse Perry라이브 바카라 right foot, it could have been a very different story.

Sophie Devine was on strike with New Zealand needing five to win from the final ball and hammered a powerful drive towards the boundary from Perry라이브 바카라 delivery.

But the Australian - who has also played in a football World Cup for her country - somehow managed to stick out her right foot and deflect the ball to mid-on to concede a single and take her team to their maiden Women라이브 바카라 T20 World Cup victory.

The tournament also saw West Indies’ Deandra Dottin score the first women라이브 바카라 T20I century, 112 not out against South Africa, with the 38 balls needed to bring up three figures still the fastest in WT20Is.

2012 - Cameron shines as Australia clinch second title

There was a familiar feel to 2012 as Australia clinched a narrow victory, beating England in the final by four runs in Sri Lanka.

Jess Cameron shone with a match-winning 45 in Colombo, while Julie Hunter impressed throughout by taking 11 wickets in the tournament.

The highest individual score fell to England라이브 바카라 Sarah Taylor with 65 not out against the eventual champions in the group stage, while Dottin was once again instrumental in West Indies’ route to the semi-finals, hitting an unbeaten 58 in victory over New Zealand.

2014 - Bangladesh break the mould

It was a case of déjà vu in 2014 as Australia celebrated their third successive Women라이브 바카라 T20 World Cup title with a six-wicket win over England in the final.

But the tournament in Bangladesh had so much more to offer than more just delight for those in yellow.

The hosts were unable to progress beyond the group stage but their maiden win on debut was certainly one of the tournament highlights, Rumana Ahmed라이브 바카라 side edging out Sri Lanka by three runs in Sylhet.

It was captain Rumana who put in a Player of the Match performance, hitting 41 off 34 balls – a feat she and her country will be eager to recreate in Australia this month.

2016 - West Indies the winners!

The 2016 Women라이브 바카라 T20 World Cup was one like no other as the Australian dominance was broken and a new world champion emerged.

Having lost the semi-final on three previous occasions, the West Indies finally broke their curse by making the showpiece in Kolkata - the match that changed the narrative around women라이브 바카라 T20 cricket.

Stafanie Taylor라이브 바카라 side secured their maiden world title in stunning fashion - overcoming reigning champions Australia was one thing but chasing down 149 runs to win the match by eight wickets was truly something else.

The tournament is one that will live long in the memories of West Indies supporters and players alike, with several names writing their names in the history books on the world stage.

Captain Taylor broke a tournament record by scoring 246 runs, while Anisa Mohammed became the first player, male or female, to take 100 T20I wickets.

2018 - Perry rewrites history with final performance

In 2018, Australia were back on top - and they made sure they secured their fourth Women라이브 바카라 T20 World Cup title in stunning fashion.

Most memorable may be Ashleigh Gardner라이브 바카라 Player of the Match performance in the eight-wicket final victory over England, the all-rounder scoring 33 runs and taking three wickets, but once again Meg Lanning라이브 바카라 side was full of stand-out performers.

Alyssa Healy blew Ireland away with her 21-ball half-century in the group stages, while Perry was as instrumental as ever as she became the first Australian, male or female, to take 100 T20I wickets when she trapped Nat Sciver lbw in the final.

If the 2020 edition is anything like the six tournaments gone by, then the world is surely in for a cracker.

With Thailand making their debut on the global stage, teenage debutants looking to make an impact and the prospect of a world-record crowd for a women라이브 바카라 sporting event being broken at the MCG on March 8, this year라이브 바카라 tournament has all the makings of being the best one yet.
