The final wicket fell off the fifth delivery of the final over, thereby ending the game.The game was still very much in Australia's favour at the halfway mark, but enabled England return to a score of 99 all out when the final wicket fell off the fifth delivery of the final over.And thanks to a brilliant bowling performance, England managed to defeat Australia by bowling them out for 96 runs—three runs short of the mark.Hannah Baker stood out with a fantastic 3/10 from four overs, while skipper Grace Scrivens provided a dramatic end by taking the last wicket to finish with outstanding individual numbers of 2/8 from 3.4 overs in addition to her run-a-ball 20 at the plate.
