Australia Women and England Women qualified for the final, after India Women lost their first three matches of the series.[7][8] In the final, Australia Women beat England Women by 57 runs to win the series. In the match, Australia Women scored 209 runs, the highest team total in a WT20I fixture.[9][10] Australia Women also set a new record for the most fours scored in a Twenty20 International by any side, male or female, with 32 boundaries.[11]
