What factors contributed to the significant difference in attendance between the 2020 T20 World Cup final and the 2025 Women's Ashes Test at the MCG?

In 2020, a T20 World Cup final at the MCG drew 86,174 attendees. Five years later, a women's Ashes Test match at the same venue attracted 11,643 on its first day, aiming to surpass the 23,207 aggregate record set at Trent Bridge in 2023. This significant crowd decrease is attributed to the impact of COVID-19, hindering efforts to build on the 2020 success.
