Australia has claimed a fifth women's Twenty20 World Cup, destroying India by 85 runs in front of a record-breaking 86,174 spectators at the MCG.

The mammoth crowd smashed the Australian record for the highest attendance at a women's sporting event, but fell just short of the world mark of 90,185 that watched 1999's football World Cup final.

Organisers had hoped to fill the stadium, and launched an extensive marketing campaign that included the social media hashtag #FillTheMCG.
