Scoring runs in the Knockout stages of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup is regarded as a big deal. The fact that a loss in the last two matches of a major tournament could mean the end of the journey would put pressure on some of the players. Even some of the best players in the world could succumb to such pressure.

However, some players thrive under such pressure. In the history of Women's Cricket, there have been many exceptional individual performances, which not just helped their teams to win matches, but also ensured their legacy. While in some cases the team lost, the individual brilliance showed the capability of the players to perform at the big stage.
