Australia were at the receiving end of one of the all-time great World Cup innings from Harmanpreet Kaur. The Indian vice-captain slammed 20 fours and 7 sixes enroute to a scintillating 115-ball 171, setting six-time champions Australia a daunting total.

Naturally Twitter went on overdrive to laud her feat.

This is a genuinely Kapil-Dev-at-Tunbridge-Wells kind of innings from @ImHarmanpreet now. Hope it inspires other young girls to follow
