MELBOURNE, March 8: A mural depicting Australia’s famous Women’s T20 World Cup final win against India two years ago in front of a record audience has become the first artwork featuring a women’s sporting team to be on permanent display at the iconic MCG.
The artwork, which was unveiled at the MCG on Monday, will be displayed along the route of the famous MCG Tour, which attracts around 130,000 people every year.
It is the first artwork featuring a women’s sporting team to be on permanent display at the MCG.
Painted by renowned Australian painter Vincent Fantauzzo, the portrait depicts the 16 squad members lifting the trophy as yellow and green confetti fills the sky.
Australia had registered a comprehensive 85-run win over India to clinch the title in front of a record crowd.
Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney had starred with the bat while Megan Schutt and Jess Jonassen shone with the ball.
“We hope it can inspire all visitors to the MCG to pick up a bat and ball,” Australia skipper Meg Lanning said in a media release. (PTI)
