<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nEngland captain Nat Sciver-Brunt etched her name into the record books during the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final against Australia at Lord’s Cricket Ground, becoming the player with the most 50-plus scores in the tournament’s history.Sciver-Brunt produced another captain’s knock, remaining unbeaten on 58 off 53 balls, to register her ninth 50-plus score in Women’s T20 World Cup history. The milestone saw her move ahead of Suzie Bates, who had previously held the record with eight 50-plus scores.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The England skipper also climbed another elite list. Her latest fifty was her third 50-plus score in Women’s T20 World Cup knockout matches, taking her past several legends of the game. Only Beth Mooney has recorded more, with four.<\/p>\n Asked to bat first after Australia won the toss, England endured a difficult start. Amy Jones fell for six to Lucy Hamilton, while tournament leading run-scorer Danni Wyatt-Hodge was dismissed by Annabel Sutherland, leaving England struggling at 32\/2.Sciver-Brunt then combined with Alice Capsey to rebuild the innings, although Australia’s disciplined bowling attack kept the scoring rate under control. Capsey struck a six before falling to Sophie Molineux, while Heather Knight was removed cheaply by Kim Garth.With England in danger of finishing below par, Freya Kemp changed the momentum with a blistering 44 off 28 balls, allowing Sciver-Brunt to anchor the innings and guide England to a competitive 150\/4 in 20 overs.<\/p>\n England Women (Playing XI):<\/span> Amy Jones(w), Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Nat Sciver-Brunt(c), Alice Capsey, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Danielle Gibson, Charlotte Dean, Linsey Smith, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren BellAustralia Women (Playing XI):<\/span> Georgia Voll, Beth Mooney(w), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, Georgia Wareham, Annabel Sutherland, Nicola Carey, Sophie Molineux(c), Kim Garth, Lucy Hamilton<\/div>\nMost 50-plus scores in Women’s T20 World Cup history<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
