The Aussies faced off against arch-rivals England once again in the final. While England managed to score 151/5 in 50 overs, Australia’s Jen Jacobs, Karen Read, Sharon Ann Tredrea and Marie Cornish gave some top-notch performances to help their team clinch the World Cup for the second time. 1988: England and Australia met for the third time in the tournament final.  England were restricted to 127. Lindsay Reeler’s 115-run stand with Denise Annetts battered the opposing team’s bowlers and led the women in yellow to secure their third consecutive championship title. 1997: A record 11 teams played in this edition of the tournament. While the host nation, India, did reach the semi-final stage, they lost to Australia by 19 runs. In the final, New Zealand opener Debbie Hockley scored 79 to take her team to 164. But, the team’s bowling department was no match for the Australian batting line-up. The Aussies reached the target with five wickets to spare and took home the trophy for the fourth time.
