The final match of the tournament is to be played today i.e. on 5th July at the historic Lord’s ground. The England team will face arch-rival and 6-time champion Australia at home. England is eyeing to win this trophy once again after 17 years. But for this he will have to repeat his 9 year old feat. At the same time, the Australian team will try to win its 7th T20 World Cup title.
Will England be able to repeat its 9 year old feat?
Lord’s ground has been very special for the England women’s team. 9 years ago, on this historic ground, England won the ODI World Cup title by defeating India. Nat Siver-Brunt, who was a part of that historic match, is now commanding the team as captain. If the England team is successful in repeating that feat, then it can end the T20 World Cup drought that has been going on for 17 years.
Australia-England are invincible in the tournament
The England team has made it to the finals without losing any match. At the same time, history is witness to the fact that England has won the title in all the Women’s World Cups that it has hosted till date. However, it is difficult to say how useful this history will be against 6-time T20 World Champion Australia. Like England, the Australian team has also been invincible in this tournament so far and has won 6 consecutive matches. After chasing a record of 171 runs against India at Lord’s last weekend, they defeated West Indies by 8 wickets in the semi-finals.
On the other hand, England had a bad start in the semi-final match played against South Africa and the team lost 3 wickets for 23 runs. It seemed that England’s story would end, but Nat Siver-Brunt, who was returning from injury, played a brave inning of 75 runs in 47 balls. He along with former team captain Heather Knight made a record match-changing partnership of 133 runs for the fourth wicket. That is, both the teams are in form and have reached the final without losing a single match, in such a situation, this ground of Lord’s is ready to witness a historic and breath-taking match.
