ICC Women's World Cup 2022, Final: Australia Women vs England Women - Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
England Women will take on Australia Women in the final of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 on Sunday. The Hagley Oval in Christchurch will host this clash.
Australia, led by Meg Lanning, have lost only two ODIs since their defeat to India in the 2017 World Cup semis in Derby. The Aussies have bossed the 50-over format and have performed exceedingly well in the ongoing World Cup. Having won all seven of their games, they finished on top of the table in the league stage.
A net run rate of 1.283 also suggests how dominating they have been so far. Lanning’s women got past Stafanie Taylor's West Indies by 157 runs in a rain-curtailed 45-over match in the semis. Alyssa Healy won the Player of the Match award for her 129-run knock. Rachael Haynes also made 85 runs.
England, led by Heather Knight, started their campaign with three losses on the trot. But they are currently on a five-match winning streak and have found their mojo in the tournament. They lost to Sune Luus’ South Africa by three wickets in the league stage of the tournament.
However, England made amends after defeating the same opposition by 137 runs in the semi-final at the Hagley Oval. Danielle Wyatt's maiden World Cup ton helped England set South Africa a target of 294. From there on, Sophie Ecclestone’s six-wicket haul blew South Africa away.
