Australia Women won by 7 wickets with 17 balls remaining against England Women in the final Match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, with Beth Mooney leading the chase through a match-winning 64. Her innings, supported by Phoebe Litchfield’s 48, carried Australia to 153/3 after England Women posted 150/4.

This result brought the tournament to a close in the final scheduled match, and Australia Women signed off with another composed performance after already building a strong campaign across the competition. England Women had also arrived in good form, having won Match 32 by 40 runs, but Australia were sharper in the decisive passages of this contest.

England Women’s 150/4 was built around Nat Sciver-Brunt’s 58, with useful backing from Freya Kemp, who made 44, and Alice Capsey, who added 23. It was an innings of steady accumulation rather than a late surge, and Australia’s attack kept enough control to prevent England from pulling away in the closing overs. Lucy Hamilton, Kim Garth and Sophie Molineux each claimed a wicket, ensuring England finished with a competitive total rather than a commanding one.

In reply, Australia Women judged the chase well. Beth Mooney set the tone with 64, giving the innings stability and tempo, while Phoebe Litchfield’s 48 kept the asking rate under control through the middle overs. Once that partnership took shape, Australia moved into a strong position and did not allow England’s bowlers many openings. Ellyse Perry then contributed 13 as Australia reached 153/3 in 17.1 overs.

England did manage three wickets through Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean and Lauren Bell, but Australia’s top order had already done the hard work. The turning point came in the middle phase of the chase, when Mooney and Litchfield converted a manageable target into one firmly under Australia’s control, trimming down the equation and taking the pressure off the finish.

Across the wider tournament, both sides had produced notable results on the way to this meeting. England Women opened with an 87-run win in Match 1 and added further victories in Matches 8, 16, 22, 28 and 32. Australia Women, meanwhile, put together an imposing run that included wins by 65 runs, 9 wickets, 98 runs, 113 runs, 6 wickets and 8 wickets before this latest success.
