Welcome to the Women’s T20 World Cup Final
Hello and welcome to the BIG ONE. Can Charlotte Edwards’ England side follow in the recent footsteps of the Red Roses (rugby) and Lionesses (football) to achieve their own crowning and cut through moment?
Chloe Kelly and co won the Euro 2022 tournament on home turf and England’s women’s rugby team secured World Cup glory as the host nation last year. Can Nat Sciver-Brunt’s side do the same?
They’ll have to beat the juggernaut that is Australia in order to do so. The Green and Gold have won the T20 World Cup SIX times to England’s one – the inaugural tournament in 2009 when head coach Edwards was captain.
Both sides have been the standout teams in this tournament and deservedly take their place in the final at Lord’s this afternoon. Each is unbeaten and confidently swatted away their semi-final opponents at the Oval this past week.
We’ll have the teams, toss and a performance from erm Rita Ora in the next hour or so before play begins at 3.30pm. Do drop us a line and… let’s do this.
