Australia Win Seventh Women's T20 World Cup at Lord's

The win cements Australia’s long-term dominance with Sophie Molineux claiming her first ICC title as captain.

Overview

  • Australia chased 151 and finished 153 for 3 in 17.1 overs to beat England by seven wickets, completing the match with 17 balls to spare.
  • Beth Mooney (64) and Phoebe Litchfield (48) put on a match-defining 100-run second-wicket partnership that settled the chase after an early Australia loss of a wicket.
  • England had earlier posted 150 for 4 thanks to an unbeaten 58 from captain Nat Sciver‑Brunt and a late 44 not out from Freya Kemp, who shared an 80-run recovery stand.
  • A third‑umpire review late in the chase ruled Ellyse Perry not out after a contested catch, and the final drew a near sell-out crowd of about 28,000–29,000 at Lord’s on Sunday.
  • The victory extends Australia’s record to seven Women’s T20 World Cup titles out of ten editions and closes an expanded 12‑team tournament that drew bigger crowds and wider broadcast coverage.
