Australia sealed a record-extending seventh ICC Women's T20 World Cup title after thrashing England in the final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London. The Sophie Molineux-led side defeated the hosts by seven wickets with 17 balls to spare to break the hearts of the home crowd.
The victory ends a rare run for Australia of three years without an ICC title as they found themselves holding no major senior trophy following semi-final defeats in the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup to South Africa and the 2025 Women's World Cup to India.

Beth Mooney was the star of the show for Australia with a fine knock of 64 in just 49 balls as they chased the target of 151 with ease. The opening batter put up a partnership of 100 runs with Phoobe Litchfield (48 of 35). The duo put together a 100-run partnership in just 67 balls before Georgia Voll's early dismissal.
Earlier, after Sophie Molineux won the toss and chose to bowl first, England posted just 150 on the board despite a fighting knock by the home team skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt (58 off 22) and a quick-fire 28…

Australia thrashed England by seven wickets to win a record-extending seventh Women's T20 World Cup title in a sold-out final at Lord's on Sunday.
Beth Mooney (64) and Phoebe Litchfield (48) did the damage in a second-wicket partnership of exactly 100 runs as
Australia
reached a target of 151 with 17 balls to spare.
Victory meant Australia had now won all seven of their world finals
, across both one-day international and T20 cricket, against arch-rivals
England
.
Tight Australia bowling backed up by typically impressive fielding restricted England to 150-4, with the hosts indebted to skipper Nat-Sciver Brunt (58 not out) and Freya Kemp (44 not out) for an unbroken stand of 80 that revived the innings from 70-4.
The new-ball duo of Kim Garth (1-20 in four overs) and Lucy Hamilton (1-19 in three) were the pick of the attack in what was Australia's first global final at Lord's.

Australia dashed England's hopes of a first Women's T20 World Cup win in 17 years and second overall as they romped to a seven-wicket victory at Lord's to secure a record-extending seventh title.
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt (58 not out off 53 balls) and Freya Kemp (44no off 28) shared an unbroken stand of 80 from 55 balls as the hosts, who lost the toss, posted 150-4 after being reduced to 70-4 in the 11th over when Heather Knight (2) was pinned lbw.
However, Australia reached their target with 17 balls to spare in front of nearly 29,000 spectators to increase their winning streak over their rivals to nine matches across the formats and deny England a first global title since the home 50-over World Cup success in 2017.
