  1. Player of the tournamentpublished at 10:31 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2020

    Australia opener Beth Mooney: "It's been an unbelievable tournament and the crowds have been amazing throughout. We've got an elite line-up and if it's not your day, somebody else steps up and does it. You can always be better and that's the mantra I and the team live by. I'm fortunate and grateful to have been given the opportunities I have by Cricket Australia."

    And here are her three catches:

    It's tournament top scorer Beth Mooney for her 259 runs from six innings.

    Here's some of her best shots from today:

    Australia's Alyssa Healy: "That was unbelievable. You cannot wipe the smile off my face - I never thought we'd have an opportunity like this, maybe in 20 years' time. It's the nature of the way I play my game, I need a little bit of luck to go my way, and I was feeding off the crowd tonight - I enjoyed the atmosphere and we played pretty well.

    "Moons [Beth Mooney] was sensational, she got off strike and let me have the limelight, hopefully we can stay together for a little bit longer."

    First up to get his medal is England's only representative - match referee Chris Broad (sporting a beard these days), followed by the four umpires.

    Megan Schutt took 4-18 from 3.1 overs, but I think a bowler has to take seven wickets, at an economy rate of under two, to get a player of the match award.

    The stage is (literally) set. We're going to have the trophy presentation and the usual interviews before Katy Perry takes the mic again.

    While we wait, feast on Alyssa Healy's five sixes:

    Confidence in women is often mistaken for arrogance. Australia walked out to a packed MCG as though they were going for a stroll in the park. They knew they were the best team out there, and they've hammered the point home. What a team Lanning has.

    Australia exposed all the weaknesses India had hidden in this tournament. If they're to compete for world titles, a women's IPL is a necessity.

    I'm interested to see how this plays out back home - in 2017, getting to the final bound this team to the Indian public, and there was a chance they even might have won that World Cup. But here they've been thoroughly outplayed, I'm not sure how the public will react.

    The winning moment for Australia's fans to replay again and again...

    To beat Australia, any team has to be at their best. Australia can win tournaments with sub-perfect performances - but they put in a perfect game today. India seem to be adding a world-class performer at every World Cup - I think they'll be winning a tournament in about 2023.

    Young India opener Shafali Verma is getting some hugs from her team-mates, it's been an emotional day for the 16-year-old.

    Contrastingly, Mitchell Starc is enjoying what looks like a beer up in the stands - his wife Alyssa Healy gave Australia such a great start.

    Australia spinner Jess Jonassen: "It feels incredible. I've never played in front of a crowd so big before and I felt the love from every single person."

    I'd give it to Alyssa Healy, but I think they'll give it to Beth Mooney because of the catches.

    Australia pace bowler Megan Schutt: "I am overwhelmed, the atmosphere is nuts and I couldn't be happier. We've been waiting for this for such a long time. The openers came out with such confidence and batted them out of the game early."

    The first thing I noticed down here were the huge smiles on the Indian supporters' faces. They're so happy to be here, even though their team didn't play well.

    Australia vice-captain Rachael Haynes: "It's incredible and hard to put into words. We haven't had it all our way in this tournament but we've had to fight, deal with adversity and this makes it all worthwhile."
