Australia face India in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Group A at Lord’s Cricket Ground, London, on Sunday 28 June 2026, starting at 14:30 BST (UTC+1). Lord’s holds 30,000 and is the Home of Cricket; this final-round Group A fixture between the most successful and most followed teams in women’s cricket is the outstanding match of the entire group stage.

Australia Women are six-time ICC Women’s T20 World Cup champions. India Women are among the most supported teams in world sport and have been the highest-viewed team at every recent T20 World Cup. These sides meeting at Lord’s on the final day of group fixtures, with semi-final seedings at stake, is one of the greatest fixtures women’s cricket can produce.

Australia’s dominance in women’s T20 cricket is the benchmark against which all other programmes are measured. Six World Cup titles across six editions reflect a system built on professional structures, elite coaching, and extraordinary depth. Alyssa Healy’s wicketkeeping and attacking batting, Beth Mooney’s consistency, and Ellyse Perry’s unmatched all-round record give Australia options that no other team can match. Their record at Lord’s in international cricket is formidable.

India Women have been transformed by the Women’s Premier League and the infrastructure that has developed around it. Smriti Mandhana’s elegant left-handed batting, Shafali Verma’s explosive strokeplay, and Deepti Sharma’s all-round contribution give India a squad capable of beating any team in the world on their day. Their following, larger than any other team in the women’s game, will fill Lord’s with colour and noise.

Lord’s Cricket Ground, capacity 30,000, has hosted the ICC Women’s World Cup Final before and knows how to deliver the biggest occasions in women’s cricket. The Home of Cricket, with its iconic pavilion, famous Long Room, and distinctive slope, provides a backdrop for this match that neither team will ever forget. A Sunday afternoon at Lord’s for an Australia vs India match is as prestigious as women’s cricket gets.
