Overview
- Speaking during Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers, Mooney joked, “I actually thought they weren’t going to let us back in for losing — thankfully immigration let me in.”
- Her comment answered Rodrigues’ earlier light-hearted line that she wasn’t sure Australia would let her in after India knocked the Aussies out of the World Cup.
- The exchange, posted by 7Cricket, picked up traction online and drew laughter from the commentary team and the crowd.
- Rodrigues’ unbeaten 127 in the semi-final powered a record chase that sent India to the final, and India went on to win their maiden Women’s World Cup.
- Early WBBL results underscored the friendly tone rather than rivalry stakes, with Brisbane Heat losing to the Renegades and the Scorchers beaten by the Sixers.
