Ananya Lohia , Delhi - When Australia reach a World Cup final, you might as well hand them the trophy. The defending champions once again proved why they are the undisputed queens of women's cricket, brushing aside England by seven wickets at Lord's to lift a record seventh Women's T20 World Cup title.

Asked to bat first, England fought hard through captain Nat Sciver-Brunt's unbeaten 58 and an 80-run partnership with Freya Kemp, guiding the hosts to 150/4. But against Australia's clinical bowling attack, the total never looked enough on a high-pressure final stage.

Australia's chase was nothing short of a masterclass. Beth Mooney once again rose to the occasion with a classy 64 off 49 balls, while young Phoebe Litchfield lit up Lord's with a fearless 48 off 35 deliveries, taking the attack to England's bowlers from the outset. Their fluent 100-run partnership sucked the life out of the contest as Australia raced to 153/3 in just 17.1 overs, turning the final into a one-sided affair and ending England's unbeaten Women's T20 World Cup record on home soil.

With yet another ICC trophy in their cabinet, Australia have once again underlined why they are the gold standard of women's cricket. As records continue to tumble, the seven-time champions have reaffirmed their status as the sport's most dominant force.
