T20 World Cup: India won the toss and elected to bat first against Australia in the final group stage match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2026 at Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday.

India have made one change for the must-win encounter, as Kranti Gaud is back in the side in place of Nandni Sharma. While Phoebe Litchfield is back in Australia.

Australia have been virtually flawless throughout the tournament, collecting maximum points from four matches and establishing themselves as the benchmark once again. Their impressive net run rate means only an extraordinary sequence of results could prevent them from reaching the semi-finals, allowing them to approach the contest from a position of strength.
