Australia has an immaculate record in this competition, beginning with a 12-run triumph against England, their closest result, and progressing to a 157-run thrashing of the West Indies in the semi-finals.

England’s route has been more difficult, as they were on the verge of elimination after losing their first three games before returning to win the next five, including a 137-run semi-final thumping of South Africa.

“It’s certainly amazing to be in this situation, considering where we were a couple of weeks ago,” England captain Heather Knight said, adding that there was “no magical moment” when their form flipped around.

Australia is looking for a record seventh World Cup triumph, while England is striving for their fifth.
