The Cricketer looks at the individual performances from the Women's World Cup final between England and Australia
Alyssa Healy (170): Gave two chances but otherwise the most remarkable knock you could wish to see in a world final: 26 boundaries, 138 balls, the player of the tournament 9.9
Rachael Haynes (68): The leading run-scorer in the tournament were it not for her opening partner's late show; looked primed for a century of her own until top-edging off Ecclestone 8
Beth Mooney (62): Pushed up the order to maintain the early impetus, and performed her role with aplomb, keeping Healy company and pushing the scoring along 8
Ashleigh Gardner (1; 1-15): Ran herself out after a promotion into the top four, before taking the important wicket of Dean just as Australian nerves might have been beginning to creep in 5
Meg Lanning (10): Ever-composed as captain and fitting that this final should be the occasion of her 100th ODI; came to the crease late on 4
Tahlia McGrath (8*; 1-46): Less effective with the ball than during the Ashes, and Sciver used her pace very nicely 5

Ellyse Perry (17*): Would have been a great shame if injury had forced her out of another final; wasn't fit to bowl but added runs at the end in a classy cameo 5
Jess Jonassen (3-57): England found her easy to score against, but her angle from wide on the crease caused problems and she claimed the winning wicket among her three 6
Alana King (3-64): Three key wickets, including those of Knight and Dunkley; another sign of Australia's strength in depth 7
Megan Schutt (2-42): Not at her very best but produced perfect inswingers to knock over both England openers 6
Darcie Brown (0-57): Struggled against Knight, who played her beautifully; found no assistance from a true pitch 4
Tammy Beaumont (27): Not for the first time in this tournament, trapped in front by an inswinger; played some pleasing shots before her dismissal, but dropped Healy on 136 4
Danni Wyatt (4): Dropped Haynes and was cleaned up by Schutt; couldn't back up her semi-final heroics 2
Heather Knight (26): Opted to field first on the strength of the record at the ground; looked in lovely touch before being undone by a good delivery from King 4
Natalie Sciver (148*; 0-65): As high-class a knock as you could wish to find, even if England were never quite in the running for victory; dropped Healy on 41 and was expensive with the ball – but she can be let off given what she contributed to a tremendous final 9
Amy Jones (20): Has had an excellent tournament behind the stumps but remains flaky with the bat, albeit very watchable 5
Sophia Dunkley (22): Got another start at No.6, where she is forging an excellent niche, but was bowled round her legs by King 5

Katherine Brunt (1; 0-69): Erratic with the ball after her first two overs, often too short 3
Sophie Ecclestone (3; 1-71): Australia have a handle on the world's leading spinner; for the second time in the World Cup, they took her down and left England without their banker 3
Kate Cross (2; 0-65): Strayed legside more than normal and struggled to stop the runs on a flat pitch 3
Charlie Dean (21; 0-34): Was never allowed to settle by Haynes or Healy and struggled to stem the flow; batted nicely and showed she's anything but a No.10 4
Anya Shrubsole (1; 3-46): England's best bowler on the day by a mile because she rarely dropped short; emotional before and after the game – one wonders how long she will go on 7
