Werribee’s Jess Cameron has added another world championship to her collection as the Australian women’s cricket team won its third straight ICC Women’s World Twenty20 title.
Cameron was at the non-striker’s end when all-rounder Ellyse Perry hit the winning runs to give Australia a six-wicket win against England on Sunday in Bangladesh.
The Southern Stars won the toss, sent the English side in and restricted them to 8-105 off their twenty overs. Sarah Coyte was the best of the Australian bowlers with 4-16 from four overs.
In reply, the Southern Stars made 4-106 off 15 overs on the back of captain Meg Lanning’s 44 and Perry’s 31 not out.
Cameron finished 0 not out after not facing a ball, but she took a catch while fielding.
The 24-year-old played in all of Australia’s six games in the tournament, with her best result 27 not out against South Africa in the pool matches.
Last year, Cameron was named player of the match in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2013 final against the West Indies after smashing 75 runs in the Southern Stars’ 114-run win.
