Mooney and Schutt Eye Milestones in High-Stakes World Cup Showdown

In a thrilling ICC Women's World Cup encounter, Australian wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney and pacer Megan Schutt are on the verge of achieving significant career milestones as they take on England at Indore on Wednesday. Though both teams have already advanced to the semifinals, high stakes persist with individual achievements on the line.

Mooney, with an impressive 2,911 ODI runs at an average of 49.33, looks to join the elite club of Australian batters reaching 3,000 runs, needing just 89 more. Her stellar performance includes five centuries, 19 fifties, and a remarkable best of 138 runs. In the current World Cup, she has already impressed with 125 runs, including a high score of 109 against Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Schutt is poised to become Australia's third-highest ODI wicket-taker, with just three wickets needed to surpass Lisa Sthalekar's record of 146. Boasting 144 wickets in 105 ODIs, Schutt also aims to break World Cup records by toppling Lyn Fullston's 39-wicket benchmark, needing just two more in the tournament.
