Australia claimed their seventh T20 World Cup title by defeating England by seven wickets in the final at Lord's. England, hosting the tournament, struggled to accelerate their scoring, setting a target of 150 runs for Australia.
England's captain Nat Sciver-Brunt anchored their innings, scoring an unbeaten 58 off 53 balls, with support from Maia Kemp's 44 off 28 deliveries. However, the total proved insufficient against a strong Australian batting lineup.
Australia's chase was anchored by Beth Mooney's 64 and Phoebe Litchfield's 48 not out. The pair forged a crucial 100-run partnership that put Australia in a commanding position. Despite a controversial moment where a catch was overturned, Australia reached the target with 17.1 overs bowled.
The victory marked another T20 World Cup triumph for Australia, underscoring their dominance in the format. While England showed signs of progress under coach Charlotte Edwards throughout the tournament, they were ultimately outplayed by their rivals. The final was played before a capacity crowd at Lord's, highlighting the growing popularity of the women's game.
