Women’s World Cup: Wanted To Score Off As Many Balls As Possible, Says Gardner
"It was really special. Obviously, when I got out into the middle, I had some pretty clear plans just to get myself in, stick to my strengths, but also score off as many balls as possible. We always knew we needed a big total here; obviously, the venue is quite small, and the wicket was really good. So, making sure that once I got in, I really capitalised. Then knowing that we had 320 on the board, we had something to defend,” she said after getting the Player of the Match award.
Ashleigh’s knock - her maiden World Cup century and second in ODIs - was the centrepiece of Australia’s recovery. While hitting 16 fours and a six at a strike-rate of 138.55, she also became the first player to hit a century batting at number six or lower in a women's ODI World Cup.
