T20 World Cup: England batter Alice Capsey believes her side's total of 150\/4 is a brilliant score in the Women's T20 World Cup 2026 final against Australia at Lord's, crediting captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and Freya Kemp for showing exactly how to bat on a challenging surface.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England recovered well after early setbacks to post 150\/4 in their 20 overs, thanks to an unbeaten 58 off 53 balls from Sciver-Brunt and a quickfire 44 not out off 28 deliveries from Kemp. The pair stitched together an unbeaten stand to guide the hosts to what Capsey felt was a highly competitive total under the pressure of a World Cup final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I think that score of 150 is brilliant. The way Nat and Kempy went about their business there at the end was outstanding. And I think it showed how to play on that pitch. To do that under the high pressure of the final was great," Capsey said after England completed their innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Capsey herself contributed 23 off 20 balls after England had slipped to 39\/2 in the powerplay. She struck two fours and a six before being clean bowled by Australia captain Sophie Molineux while attempting a reverse sweep.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The right-hander also expressed confidence in England's bowling attack, saying disciplined bowling would be the key to defending the total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I think when you bowl good lines and lengths, it was pretty tricky. The bowlers all have their plans and already had their plans for their match-ups. We look forward to watching our bowlers go out there and do their thing today," she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"It's amazing. Just trying to take it all in, I guess. Half of the job is done now, and we're just looking forward to getting out there as a group and putting on hopefully a show for that second half. Then we can really enjoy this Lord's crowd hopefully at the end," she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
