Meg Lanning collects the ICC T20 World Cup Trophy from Mr Greg Barclay. This is their 6th World Title in this format. Now, the celebration begins here at Cape Town.
Meg Lanning (Australia Women's Captain): "Ah, it is a very special effort from the team. We have performed so well in the tournament, knew that the teams would come hard on us. We are super proud. The wicket wasn't as good as at the start of the tournament. Our start in the powerplay was good. That set the tone for us.We thought of hitting the good areas and getting the job done. Need to enjoy the game, the atmosphere here- brilliant. The pressure was up and we have enjoyed it.
We have come and seen what the beautiful country had to offer. Certainly nice to finish the tournament with a win. No, it's a special group. Not the players, but also the support staff, behind the scenes. The group there, I want to show them, they have been brilliant. Also, my mom and dad, have been here. Thank You."

The Australian team is being asked to come on the podium and get their winning medals.
Sune Luus (South Africa Women Captain): "It has been an amazing feeling being here in the finals. It's incredible to be able to play at our home ground in front of so many people. Thank you, Newlands, for all the support; we love you. We lost wickets at critical times, and we knew they had a strong bowling attack. We lost the game, but we can be proud of how we performed in the tournament. To begin with, you are extremely annoying (laughs). Many of the girls have found you to be an inspiration. Pressure is on the Minister of Sports, CSA to keep women's cricket growing in this country."
South African players now come up to collect the runners-up medals.
The match officials now receive their medals for their brilliant officiating in the final.
Ashleigh Gardner (Player of the Tournament): "I think we have been longing for this moment. We have been playing for such moments. I have been super proud of this group. To be honest, the semi-final - my role with both bat and ball was good. Coming later and doing the job with the ball was also brilliant.
First of all, the accolades are great. We have won this one, as World Cup Champions. This is something to be very much proud of. I think, the confidence in my bowling. I have bowled a lot of in-games, the Big Bash as well. I think Meg has confidence in me.
Oh, I don't think, words can describe how proud I have been. Be the best version of yourself, grow the game globally. That would be an understatement. There is so much fun playing for your country. Later in my life, I am going to be super proud of this team."

Beth Mooney (Player of the Match): "Yeah, very special, I think. It's been incredible being here in South Africa. Yeah, it's been a great journey. The crowd was impressive, but unfortunately, not many of them were cheering for us. In the middle, I wasn't exactly calm. The girls will inform you later. It was really tough wicket to bat on and I was too hard on myself in the middle. I was extremely disappointed with my performances in the first two games. But the team always had faith in me to turn things around. The entire squad and support staff have been incredible."
