England will play Australia in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final in what is set to be a blockbuster event at Lord’s on Sunday.

Rita Ora will perform before the event from 2.30pm before Clean Bandit bring to a close the most-watched ICC Women’s T20 World Cup ever.

Here’s everything you need to know:

A vaunted Australia side made it six wins out of six in the tournament and booked their place at Lord’s with a dominant eight-wicket win over West Indies on Tuesday, led by brilliant performances from Beth Mooney (61no off 36) and Ash Gardner (35no, 2-13).

The Matildas are unquestionably the team to beat, having beaten previous winners South Africa and pre-tournament favourites India on their way to a seventh T20 World Cup final in nine tournament appearances.

England have also won every match they have played at the tournament, including a 40-run win over South Africa in Thursday night’s semi-final.

Which music acts are performing?

Performances by Rita Ora and Clean Bandit bookend the final as part of the World Cup closing ceremony.

Rita Ora is an internationally renowned singer known for hit singles R.I.P and How We Do (Party), while Clean Bandit topped the UK charts with their song Rather Be in collaboration with Jess Glynne.

Ora will get proceedings under way with a performance – starting at 2.30pm – ahead of the match, before Clean Bandit will pull the curtain down on the tournament with a performance after the game.

Fans are advised to arrive at the ground at 2pm to ensure they are settled in time for the performances.
