Most Poignant Farewell
The tournament’s emotional moments included a guard of honour for Suzie Bates, Sophie Devine, and Lea Tahuhu after New Zealand’s exit, highlighting the end of a generation dedicated to the sport for love rather than financial gain.

Addressing the Gap
The ongoing challenge of bridging the gap to Australia remains, with calls for the ICC to redistribute revenues, ensuring that all teams, particularly the West Indies, receive adequate funding for development.

Overall Success
The tournament is deemed a success, reviving interest in women’s cricket in England, evidenced by record attendance. However, the long-term impact of this momentum will depend on future efforts to sustain interest and investment.
