Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Final: England vs Australia at Lord's

The Final at Lord's

Two unbeaten sides. One historic venue. On Sunday 5 July, England Women and Australia Women meet at Lord's Cricket Ground for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Final. England have never lost a Women's World Cup on home soil. Australia have won the title six times and are chasing a record seventh. Both teams arrived in the final without dropping a match. There will be no easy innings and no comfortable overs. Rita Ora performs at the pre-match ceremony; Clean Bandit close the night after the trophy presentation.

[icon:SHIELD] England's Home Record England have never lost a Women's World Cup tournament on home soil, in either the T20 or ODI format. The crowd at Lord's, and the conditions they know better than anyone, give Nat Sciver-Brunt's side a psychological edge that statistics alone cannot measure.

[icon:FIRE] Australia's Championship Pedigree Australia have won six of the nine previous Women's T20 World Cup titles. Ellyse Perry, competing in her record 50th Women's T20 World Cup match, anchors a squad that has never been more balanced. Sophie Molineux captains for the first time at an ICC event.

"

We were in a tough spot early on and we found a way through. That's what this team does. Lord's is exactly where we want to be.

Nat Sciver-Brunt

The head-to-head record across Women's T20 Internationals stands at Australia 22, England 20 from 45 matches, with 1 no result and 2 ties. The sides are as evenly matched on paper as any two teams have ever been heading into a World Cup final.
