The International Cricket Council (ICC) in its release said that Perry's involvement in the Women's T20 World Cup final gives a big boost as the event looks to break the record for highest attendance in a women's sporting fixture. The current record crowd of 90,185 was set at the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup final in Pasadena, California. The MCG's capacity, on the other hand, exceeds 100,000.
