Welcome to today’s women’s international cricket update featuring overnight results, today’s matches, breaking news and a look back through history.

News in brief

No cricket played overnight and there’s an eerie silence as we all cast our eyes to tomorrow’s World Cup final.
Australia’s head coach Shelley Nitschke has indicated it will be likely that Ellyse Perry will take the field for the final. Her “minor quad awareness” is still being monitored and the player will be put through fitness drills over Friday and Saturday..
No glaring injury concerns for England. Skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt showed no obvious sign of her injury while running between the wickets during her 75 against South Africa in the semi final.
A big question for the Aussies: will they play Alana King?
Friday quiz: Stumped! How many will you get this week? Do the quiz.
Shabnim Ismail‘s 51 T20 World Cup wickets, the first player to reach that mark and leading all time wicket taker in T20 World Cups. (Next best is Megan Schutt with 48.)
Player of the Tournament page nears the end. Danni Wyatt-Hodge currently sits in top spot, and potentially retains that with a good performance tomorrow in the final.
Shree Charani‘s 2-32 against Australia makes her the leading wicket taker for the tournament with 14.
Danni Wyatt-Hodge is the leading run scorer with 282.
