South African pacer Shabnim Ismail delivered a spell of 2/26 to become the most successful wicket-taker in the Women's T20 World Cup.
Newly-in Ashleigh Gardner kept the scoreboard ticking with Mooney as the all-rounder added a 21-ball 29 runs off the 46-run second-wicket stand with Mooney. The stand was ended by Chloe Tyron before it could shift the gear.
Sensing the urgency to score quickly, skipper Meg Lanning sent pinch-hitter Grace Harris ahead of her but the experiment didn't work as the batter was gone after scoring just 10 runs off nine balls.
Mooney then changed to a more aggressive stance as she brought up her half century and went on to hit further boundaries to take Australia past 150. The opener smashed nine fours and a six during her 53-ball stay at the crease.
Ismail brought up her milestone late in the innings by dismissing Tahlia McGrath (7) and Georgia Wareham (0) to become the most successful bowler in the history of the Women's T20 World Cup
Chasing the target, South Africa struggled against in-form Australian bowling as they were down to 54/3 by the 11th over with Tazmin Brits (10), Marizanne Kapp (11) and skipper Sune Luus (2) couldn't do much to help the team.
However, opener Laura Wolvaardt, who scored half-centuries in the last two games, kept the hosts in the final with her third half-century. She crucially added 55 runs for the fourth wicket with Tyron (25)
The fightback ended in the 17th over as pacer Megan Schutt dismissed Wolvaardt with 48 runs yet to be scored. yron fell in the next over to Jess Jonasson as Australia soon took the game to lift the title for the sixth time.
