The 1988 Shell Bicentennial Women's World Cup was an international cricket tournament played in Australia from 29 November to 18 December 1988. Hosted by Australia for the first time, as part of the Bicentenary celebrations, it was the fourth edition of the Women's Cricket World Cup, and came six years after the preceding 1982 World Cup in New Zealand.
The tournament was organised by the International Women's Cricket Council (IWCC), with matches played over 60 overs. Australia won the tournament for a third consecutive time, defeating England in the final by eight wickets. New Zealand defeated Ireland in the third-place playoff, while the Netherlands, the only other team at the tournament, placed fifth and last after failing to win a single match. Both Ireland and the Netherlands were making their tournament debuts. India had been invited to compete, as they had at the previous two tournaments, but were forced to withdraw after failing to secure enough money from sponsors.[1] Two Australians, Lindsay Reeler and Lyn Fullston, led the tournament in runs and wickets, respectively.[2][3] The player of the series was English all-rounder Carole Hodges, who placed third for runs scored and second for wickets taken.[4] She received a Waterford Crystal trophy valued at A$4,000, donated by an Irish firm, R&A Bailey.[5]

Final
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The final, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, was broadcast live on radio and on ABC Television.[15] It was attended by around 3,000 people, although the ground had a capacity at the time of over 90,000.[16] Janette Brittin, who played for England in the match, later described the venue as having "wall-to-wall seating with no one sitting in them", making it "a very large and a very lonely place".[17] No women's cricket had been played there since 1949.[16]
