इंग्लैंड vs ऑस्ट्रेलिया, फाइनल, लॉर्ड्स क्रिकेट ग्राउंड, लंदन, 05 July 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

 FIFTY FOR BETH MOONEY! A masterful knock from the Aussie opener and she gets to her 9th T20 World Cup half century. Length ball, just outside off. Mooney waits back and punches it towards widish point for a quick single. 

Full and flat, on off, Phoebe Litchfield advances and blocks it back to the bowler.

WIDE! Miles outside off, on a length. Phoebe Litchfield lets it through.

A stifled appeal for LBW, but nothing doing. Spins away from middle with a bit of a bounce. Phoebe Litchfield misses the sweep shot and is struck on the back thigh.

Flatter delivery, fired in at the stumps. Litchfield backs away and punches it to cover.

Full and around off. Phoebe Litchfield drives it inside out through extra cover for a couple of runs. The 100-run partnership comes up between this pair.

OUT! BOWLED! Dean breaks through for England, but it is too little too late at the moment. Bowls a quicker one on a shorter length, on middle. Phoebe Litchfield rocks back in the crease and tries to play it across, but she is tucked up for space, plays all around it and the ball crashes into the stumps behind. Australia Women are 117/2, needing just 34 runs.

Full ball, drifting down the leg side. Mooney looks to flick it away on the leg side, but ends up getting a bottom edge which rolls to short fine leg.

 FOUR! Into the gap! Short of a length around middle and leg, slower through the air, and Mooney gets inside the line to work it away past the right of short fine leg. Smith comes across from deep backward square leg, dives full length to her left, but can't get there in time to stop the boundary.

 FOUR! Off the edge, but Mooney will take it. Too full and around leg, another slower one. Mooney backs away to make room, looking to loft it over mid off. She gets a thick inside edge instead, and the ball squirts away down to the deep fine leg fence for four. Australia are inching closer to their seventh title now.

No hand on it! Short of a length around leg. Mooney creates room again, this time chipping it straight back down the pitch. Kemp flings herself to her left in an attempt to complete the catch, but the ball slips under her fingers and crashes into the stumps at her end, catching Perry short of her ground at the non-striker's end. The third umpire is now taking a look, checking for any faint contact off Kemp's hand before the ball hit the stumps. UltraEdge is summoned after several replays, which prove inconclusive and the technology detects nothing.

 FOUR! Runs away! Bowls it full and on middle and leg. Mooney picks the slower one, and effortlessly lofts it over the fielder at mid off for a boundary.

Short in length, on leg, Beth helps it behind to short fine leg, but there is protection there.

Goes straight on with the arm, on a length, around off. Ellyse Perry hangs back and tries to punch it back to the bowler, but gets beaten.

Serves it full and on off Ellyse Perry gets on the front foot and pushes it wide of the cover fielder for a quick single. 21 needed off 34 balls.

Excellent piece of fielding by Smith. Perry was gone if the throw was accurate and powerful enough. Touch short, around leg. Mooney hangs deep in the crease, makes room and drives this crisply to the left of Linsey Smith at extra cover. Smith dives full length and does brilliantly to stop it, but can't get a clean throw away to Dean with her right hand. Perry, already halfway down the track, turns back in time to scramble home.

WIDE! Flat and on a lower trajectory, beyond the tramline on the off side. Beth tries to run it through point, only to miss.

Short on off, Beth Mooney rocks back and cuts it late to backward point for a single.

 FOUR! Easily done! Perry gets into the act. A slot ball from Charlie, on off. Ellyse Perry advances down a bit, gets under the ball, and pumps it over the mid off fielder for a boundary.

Full ball, around off. Perry comfortably knocks it down to long on for a single.

Darted in at the pads, on a good length. Perry misses out on the tickle and wears it on the pads.

Pushed through, fuller and attacking the front pad. Perry clips it through square leg and takes a single.

Flat and short, outside off. Mooney is made to reach out. She cuts but can't get it past short third.

Fuller and on middle. Beth turns it in front of square on the leg side and turns the strike over.

Low full toss, on middle. Ellyse Perry advances and firms the drive down the ground. Nat Sciver-Brunt gets low to her left and makes a half-stop at mid on. Just a single.

OUT! LBW! England get the review right. Beth Mooney would have loved to be out there when the winning runs are hit, but not to be for her. Speared in very full, on middle and leg. Mooney is beaten on the flick on the inside edge and wears it low on the front pad. A loud shout for LBW but turned down. Sophie Ecclestone is pretty confident, and Nat Sciver-Brunt sends it upstairs. Is it sneaking down leg with the angle? UltraEdge comes up first. There is a murmur when the ball is next to the bat, but there is a bit of a gap. A definite spike appears only after the ball has gone past the bat, and it is from the bat hitting the turf. It is three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball crashing into the leg stump. The on-field decision has been overturned.

Angled in, on middle, on a length. Perry punches it to mid on.

FOUR! Excellent use of the feet. Flighted delivery, fuller and on off. Perry shimmies down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball. She puts her head down and cracks the drive to the left of mid off for a boundary.

Perry survives! This is flatter and quicker as well, full and off. Perry steps out again, but this time, she tries to take the aerial route and go over mid off. The bat turns in her hand, and she fails to get any sort of elevation. Hits it flat to mid off, where the ball dips on Sophie Ecclestone, but she does well to dive forward and just about gets her hands under the ball. Ecclestone is claiming the catch, and she bangs the ball onto the ground in frustration. Perry had almost crossed the boundary cushions but was asked to wait by the umpires. Ecclestone's hands were slightly apart, and that may have given the third umpire the impression that the ball had bounced.

Offers flight, full and on off, Perry drives it to deep cover for a single.

Short and darted in at the pads. Gardner clips it behind square leg for a single.

Drops it short, on off. Perry rocks back and jabs it to mid-wicket.

Good piece of fielding. Pushed fuller, and around leg. Gardner comes down the track to loft this one over mid on. The fielder in that position gives it a good chase and manages to dive and flick it back into play, before diving over the ropes, with the batters scampering through for a couple. Just 3 needed now.

FIVE WIDES! Normal service has resumed as Australia reclaim the T20 World Cup crown. 7th T20 title for the Aussies as they beat their old rivals pretty comprehensively. Sprayed down leg, on a length. Ashleigh Gardner gets down on a knee for the sweep but fails to lay any bat on it. Amy Jones is beaten to her left, and it goes away into the fence. Hugs, smiles and celebrations erupt in the Australian camp, and they are sure to continue long into the night. In contrast, there are emotional scenes among the England players as the disappointment of falling short on home soil begins to sink in.
