Australia and England Women are all ready to face off in what could be a blockbuster Women's T20 World Cup 2026 final at Lord's today. Having finished the tournament undefeated, the two teams will lock horns for the championship in what could be one of the greatest games in women's cricket.

Even as fans are eagerly anticipating a fantastic contest, the conditions are also proving to be a talking point in London in the build-up to the final. Thankfully, the forecast predictions seem to be promising, with there not being much likelihood of rain disrupting the battle for the silverware.

Australia advanced to the final having beaten the West Indies in their semi-final, while England beat South Africa comfortably to progress. The finalists had both remained unbeaten throughout the course of the tournament; only one of them will be leaving as such.

Today in London, the prediction is for a warm and dry day, with temperatures hovering between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius during the match - the wind will be blowing from the west-northwest at around 13 km/h.

Forecasts indicate the probability of rain remains very low. Currently, they are predicting only a 2% chance of rain around the halfway point of the game. With the chances of rain being nearly 0%, a full game of 40 overs will be played at the iconic Lord's.

Batters and bowlers alike will benefit from the good weather conditions, while the fans at Lord's are sure to enjoy a full day of cricket, as the sun beats down.

The two teams have played against each other in the tournament seven times.

England has only managed to win two matches (the 2009 semi-final and the 2012 round 1 match), before losing in a super over in the 2010 match.

On paper, the final between the two strongest teams looks set to be a cracker, as history is on Australia's side and the home team, England, entertains at Lord's:

Unless the weather takes a sudden turn for the worse, rain shouldn't have a say in who wins the Women's T20 World Cup. Cricketers and spectators alike can expect a full day of cricket on the final day at Lord's.
