Biggest plus point for England

England’s T20 record at Lord’s has been excellent. They have won all four matches played there, including their first T20 World Cup win in 2009. A major concern for Australia ahead of the match is the fitness of veteran fast bowler and all-rounder Ellyse Perry, who suffered a thigh injury during their semi-final win against West Indies.

This Sunday, Lord’s Cricket Ground will witness one of the most famous rivalries in cricket when the two undefeated teams of the tournament, Australia and England, will face each other in the final of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026.

Australia eyes 7th title

Six-time champions Australia are looking for their seventh title in the Women’s T20 World Cup and are also close to a historic achievement of their 150th Women’s T20 win. At the same time, the support of the home crowd for England will also bring pressure to win at any cost.

Nate Siver-Brunt in great form

Australia women’s cricket team head coach Shelley Nitschke has indicated that considering the importance of the match, the management may consider playing Ellyse Perry in the playing eleven despite not being fully fit. On the other hand, England also looks to be in a strong position after the successful return of England captain Nate Siver-Brunt. After recovering from a calf injury, he played a match-winning inning of 75 runs in the semi-final against South Africa.
