The inaugural ICC U19 Women’s Cricket World Cup wasn’t one to be missed. This year’s tournament in South Africa offered up many moments that will go down in women’s cricket history.
Here are some of the best moments of the 2023 Women’s Cricket World Cup.
While expectations were low for the fairly new cricket team, all eyes were on Rwanda as the team started the tournament off strong with steady and accurate bowling.
The Rwanda team held their own against Pakistan, pushed New Zealand, and took the win over Zimbabwe and West Indies.

Pakistan skipper Syeda Aroob Shah pulled off a breathtaking stunner during her side’s encounter against England. After Liberty Heap hit a ball over mid-off to secure a boundary, Aroob Shah executed a split-second jump before making the catch.

Australia got knocked out of the World Cup after a dramatic semi-final loss to England, who advanced to play India in the finals.
The semi-final match saw Australia and England battling out until the end.
England started strong with Australia bringing a tough game near the middle. Securing England’s victory in the 19th over, however, was England captain Grace Scrivens who trapped Australian seamer Maggie Clark on the front pad.
Scrivens finished with figures of 2-8 from 3.4 economical overs, and England leg-spinner Hannah Baker was declared Player of the Match for going 3-10 from four overs to trick Australia’s middle order.
