Australia book final spot, await opponent from England-South Africa clash
Australia have sealed their place in the final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 after beating the West Indies in the first semi-final at The Oval on Tuesday.
The six-time champions secured an eight-wicket victory, marking their return to the summit clash after missing out back in 2024, and extending their unbeaten streak throughout this year's tournament.
Chasing 126 for victory, Beth Mooney led the charge with a composed unbeaten 61 off 36 balls, laced with eight boundaries, guiding her side home in just 13 overs.
However, they had a nervy start as they lost Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield. Nonetheless, Australia never looked troubled throughout the chase.
After Ellyse Perry retired hurt as a precaution, Ashleigh Gardner stepped up impressively, following her earlier bowling performance with a quickfire unbeaten 35 studded with a six and four boundaries, sealing the win in style with a boundary through deep square leg.
