England Women (ENG W) take on Australia Women (AUS W) in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 final on Sunday, July 5, at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.
Both teams have remained unbeaten so far in the competition, and it is fitting that they are meeting each other in the summit clash. England defeated Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, the West Indies, and New Zealand to reach the semi-final. They beat South Africa by 40 runs in the semi-final to set up a meeting with Australia.
Sophie Molineux-led Australia also won all five of their group games. They defeated South Africa, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, Pakistan, and India before blowing away the West Indies in a one-sided semi-final.

Lord’s, London: Pitch Report
The Lord’s is expected to provide a balanced pitch, with something in it for the batters as well as the bowlers. While teams favour bowling first in T20 cricket, in a high-pressure final, winning the toss and getting runs on the board first up could turn out to be fruitful. In the last game played at Lord’s, Australia chased down a 171-run target against Harmanpreet Kaur’s India. However, this was an inconsequential game for the Aussies.
