After 32 matches, we're down to what many fans and pundits predicted before the tournament would be the eventual final. It's hosts England against the world's No.1 nation Australia in a marquee final at Lord's on Sunday, July 5 at 2:30 p.m. BST (9:30 a.m. ET in the U.S. and 11:30 p.m. Down Under).
Both teams are defeat-less across the tournament and enjoyed comfortable semi-final wins during the week. The hosts will be underdogs, but have home advantage and, if Danni Wyatt-Hodge can continue her rich vein of form and add to her tournament-leading 294 runs, they stand a decent chance. That's even more so now that talisman and captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is fit – she really showed her class against South Africa in the semis with 75 from 47 balls.
The record-holding five-time champs, however, have been dominant throughout and will fancy their chances of regaining the trophy. There doesn't seem to be a single weak link throughout the XI, with Sophie Molineux leading from the front backed up by stars of the game such as Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner.
