In front of a record crowd of more than 28,000 at Lord’s, Australia ended England’s perfect record in Women’s World Cups held on home soil. England had previously won all four ICC Women’s World Cups (ODI and T20) hosted in the country but once again fell short against their long-time rivals in a global final.

The victory also extended Australia’s flawless record against England in Women’s World Cup finals, with the Australians now having won all seven summit clashes between the two teams across formats.

Although England entered the final unbeaten after winning all six of their previous matches, Australia once again proved a class apart with an outstanding all-round display.

Chasing 151 for victory, Australia completed the highest successful run chase in the history of a Women’s T20 World Cup final, reaching 153/3 in just 17.1 overs.

Beth Mooney once again starred on the big stage with a composed 64 off 49 balls to anchor the chase.

The triumph also capped an impressive first major tournament under new captain Sophie Molineux, who took charge across formats earlier this year following Alyssa Healy’s tenure. After Australia’s semifinal exit at the previous ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, Molineux guided the team back to the top, leading them to another dominant ICC title and reinforcing Australia’s status as the benchmark in women’s cricket.
