Meg Lanning who has played in front of 86,174 people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during the Final of the 2020 Women’s T20 World Cup against India had a message to the sporting bodies, she said, “There are fans and supporters who want to come and enjoy women’s sports. It has to be the organizations who have to take a bit of risk and make sure they put in the efforts in time, energy, and resources thus creating opportunities for fans to fill the stadium and enjoy an amazing game.”

Sharing her thoughts on playing in front of 86,174 people in the final of the 2020 Women’s T20 World Cup against India, Meg Lanning said that it was an unreal feeling which gave her a lot of confidence as she saw a lot of interest in people watching women’s cricket, especially in the T20 format. She said that it was not an appetite, but an opportunity that was created that led to so many people filling the Melbourne Cricket Ground on that specific day.
