For starters, Australia defeated England in the final of the ICC Women's World T20 2018 to clinch their fourth โ€“ you heard that right โ€“ WT20 title.

Alyssa Healy, of course, was the star of the show and was adjudged Player of the Tournament, having won four Player of the Match awards.

But a bigger achievement, perhaps, was in owning the internet with this statement.

All in all, these are fun times for the Southern Stars.

Such is the nature of sport, though. While some basked in the glory of triumph ...

... others rued an opportunity lost.

Elsewhere, the England menโ€™s side tasted the sweet nectar of victory in Colombo after completing a historic series sweep against Sri Lanka.

Yasir Shah claimed 10 scalps in a day against New Zealand, prompting a few Pakistan greats to lavish praise.

And as always, there was the good olโ€™ Spirit of Cricket.

Down Under, Australia and India settled for a 1-1 draw in the Twenty20 International series, after another Virat Kohli special.

And Mahendra Singh Dhoni showed that even when heโ€™s kept away from the field, he finds ways to inspire. #DaddyGoals
