Former men's captain Nasser Hussain wants England Women to go into the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup final against Australia Women with their heads held high and not fearing the opposition. This comes after the hosts defeated South Africa Women in the semi-final to book a place in the showpiece match on Sunday, July 5 at Lord's Cricket Ground.
England have faced Australia thrice in previous T20 World Cup finals, losing them all. Their most recent defeat came in 2018, when they lost to their arch-rivals by eight wickets in Antigua after being dismissed for just 105 in the first innings.
Ahead of their fourth T20 World Cup final meeting, Hussain advised England not to carry any mental burden and strive to go toe-to-toe against Australia, despite the opponents having no major weaknesses to exploit.
