The winner of ICC ‘Women’s World Cup’ held in February 2013, was

The correct answer is A. Australia won the ICC Women's World Cup 2013, which was hosted by India between February and March 2013. Australia beat England in the final, and England, the runner-up, is the option most likely to attract a wrong pick.

Why the other options fail:

• England (B): England was the finalist, not the winner. Its World Cup title came in 2009, held in Australia, which is a common source of confusion.
• New Zealand (C): New Zealand did not reach the final and has never won this tournament.
• West Indies (D): The West Indies did not win the 2013 edition and are not among the title holders of the women's event.

The core concept here is the ICC's event calendar: knowing host nations and winners of each edition of the men's and women's World Cups. For Mains, this connects to the growth of women's cricket in India, including the Women's Premier League launched in 2023, which has raised the sport's commercial and institutional profile.

Trap: Aspirants often mix up the 2009 and 2013 editions, or pick England by recall of its earlier success. Check the year and the host before you answer.
