"But then this is the World Cup, the stakes are high and the pressure is huge. May the best teams win!" - Charlotte Edwards
It was the first time since 1993 that England had beaten Australia in a World Cup game on Sunday.
In years gone by you probably wouldn’t have been able to see Athapaththu’s innings unless you’d been at the ground, but with this tournament’s high profile we are all able to see how good she was.
The first game of the tournament between England and India on the TV was the perfect way to start this ICC Women's World Cup 2017.
I am so excited ahead of this World Cup in England, feels Charlotte Edwards.
