Ellyse Perry's motivational message to World Cup-winning Australia Women's team revealed

Australia Women retained their Women's T20 World Cup title after crushing India in the finals at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on March 8, 2020. The two teams had earlier faced each other in the opening match of the tournament and Indian spinner Poonam Yadav paved the way for the team's win over Australia.

According to a report published by a leading cricket website, Australia Women coach Matthew Mott said that it was all-rounder Ellyse Perry who spurred the team all the way to win the title.
