AUS-W vs ENG-W

That also brings us to the end of our coverage of this game. Australia have clinched their 7th Women's T20 World Cup title. All other teams combined have only 3. The decision to appoint Sophie Molineux as the skipper has paid dividends. As the Australian players take a lap of the ground to thank their supporters who flew in to watch this game, it is time for us to say goodbye. The commentators were Sourabh Agarawal and Darpan Tikiya. We hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. See you soon! 

7:53 PM (12:23 AM IST): Sophie Molineux collects the trophy and calls upon her mates to join her on the podium. The champagne bottles go off. So do the confetti and the fireworks in the background. Australia have reclaimed the throne. Big grins on the faces of each and every player as they celebrate this victory. Alesso's "We could be Heroes" on the PA system adds to the mood. 

Next, it is time to pose for the winner's photograph with the board that says "CHAMPIONS". A picture that will become a permanent feature on the walls of several living rooms. 

The brand new T20 World Cup winning captain Sophie Molineux has this to say: Too good to be true. Dad is here as well. It is a really special day. (what did it take?) A lot of thought, a lot of hard work and a group of people that were willing to do anything for each other which has been the biggest thing over the last few monts. Having someone like Pex (Perry) to calm everyone down, Ash (Gardner) and it is just like scratching the surface, having someone like Lucy Hamilton take it like a duck to the water. Testament to the group and to her. Just being able to trust each other and trust our processes, did a lot of work coming into this and it is just nice to see it come to fruition. You have to have the same mentality no matter the situation, that is a testament to how the last few weeks have gone. () She is incredible. What she brings to the group is not just on the field, she is the heartbeat of the group. Her nature, she . Firstly a massive congratulations to England, you guys have played such an amazing brand of cricket and have achieved the dream of the nation. To our beautiful famililes, friends, partners, you have made the journey to here and it is really special to share this with you. To our support staff, you are so many of you out here, to keep the group calm and those long hours behind the scenes. To our fans, it has been an amazing tournament. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, it has been such a pleasure. And finally to the girls, thank you for having an open mind and willing to come to the journey. Should be incredibly proud

Time now for the World Champions to step in, the Aussie team gets their winners medals one by one and you can see the joys on their faces with their loyal fans cheering for them from the stands. They are back to being where they belong, the top of the world and it is showing 

Natalie Sciver-Brunt (England Women captain): "Hugely disappointed. We had such a great competition till today. We were outplayed today in a huge final. 

(What would have they wanted to do differently?) Ideally, we would have won the toss and bowling first. We were short of a par score on that wicket. It felt tricky to gain momentum with the bat. We were scratching a bit in the middle. But I guess when the pressure was on, their bowlers hit the right areas. We wanted to pick wickets early but that did not happen. They have a powerful line-up. You know that you need to keep taking wickets. They obviously have great depth in their batting line-up. 

(What are the things to be proud of?) I think we have so much to be proud of. The energy around the group throughout the competition was great. Different people have stepped up at different times. We have had some really good matches. It is a group of people that realy want to play for England and wear that shirt.

(On the support from the crowd) Real privelege to play in front of this crowd and people that support you so much. So very grateful (breaks down into tears)."

Huge cheers from the crowd as the England team comes up to collect their runners-up medals. The biggest of the cheers reserved for the skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt who will speak to Isa Guha now

Former Australian World Cup winner Mel Jones walks up with the coveted trophy and places it on the podium. The match officials then step up to collect their medals

Muscial group Clean Bandit is giving a performance in the middle currently, the presentations will be following this and we will bring those as soon as they happen

Beth Mooney is also the Player of the Tournament. She also adds, "This has been on the calendar for a bit long for us. So, it's just nice to be part of the squad first of all and had a role to play opening the batting and wicket-keeping. Just pumped to be here. There has been a lot of evolution in the last 12 months and we also had some fun times as well. (What has been the key to her success in this tournament?) I think it's just playing the game with a bit of conviction. A lot of freedom, lot of bravery and backing each other in order to believe. I have mentioned before that we have had a lot of support in the sidelines. Our coaching staff are amazing. Had a couple of niggles along the way but managed to have a full squad to pick in a big game. We can't shy away from how important that is. It's a great group to travel with. We have been on the road for five and a half weeks. Plenty of people have come over from halfway across the world to watch the finals, some a couple of days ago, some a few weeks ago. So, we feel the love and the support from here and back home."

Beth Mooney is the Player of the Match. She says, "Just happy to be here. It is well documented that we could not make it to the finals of last 2 ICC tournaments. (On her wicket-keeping) At the start of the tournament I was a bit rusty, but got good support from the coaching staff. I can't take much credit. (On the batting performance) As I said during the semifinals, it is important to get off the blocks in the powerplay. Volly (Georgia Voll) hit the ball well but had an unfortunate dismissal. Phoebe (Litchfield) came out and hit some lusty blows and that made my job easier."

Ellyse Perry, who won her 9th World title today: Today has been truly special. The atmosphere, the occasion, really special to be a part of. Amazing performance from the girls, first one for Soph (Molineux) as the captain. (what keeps her going?) Looking at our group there, we have had some things to work on in the last couple of years, some challenges but to overcome them and to take our game to a new level. (message to young girls) Not just young girls but young boys that have been watching who watch us and think it is normal for a woman to do these things, the parents that bring their kids out here, it is truly special and a privilege

Some words from Gerogia Voll: Pretty excited, been a great campaign for us. To finish it off like that, pretty pumped. The way Phoebe went out there and took the game away from them, was pretty cool to watch , Moons (Mooney) just dominated from ball one too. (looking forward to the celebrations?) Yeah, can't wait. I will dance along. Being a part of the ODI World Cup in India, unfortunately we missed out on that one but we have worked really hard in the last couple of months, to come out here and we had a great tournament. Really good surfaces here, once you get going you can get a lot of runs. I did not give myself a lot of time in the middle but who cares, we are bloody world champions. The way the whole squad has been used this tournament, everyone rocks up at training and does whatever the team needs. Such a quality side, the depth is unreal.

The up and coming and arguably a future superstar Phoebe Litchfield up next: So special. If you told us at the start of the month, a month ago, very happy. We played the same way we did whole tournament long. We just tried to take the runs down as quickly as possible. Moons (Mooney) Made it look easy and took the pressure off, it was fun batting with her, lots of quick singles. (the celebrations) Will be led by skipper Sophie today, a little shoutout to every Aussie fan out in the crowd, we hear everyone of you

Now the leader behind the scenes, the head coach of the Aussies Shelley Nitschke: Pretty stoked, pretty relived as well to be honest.Thought that was an amazing effort by the girls, had a fantastic tournament but you never know. No secret sauce, we just pride ourselves on our standards and we have spoken about getting in these positions and closing out games. Our leaders have done a fantastic job in bringing the group together. Having a youngster like Lucy (Hamilton) come in and settle so quickly both on and off the field has helped us a lot. (on the celebrations) They have earned it, I will allow them to do whatever they want. (on Beth Mooney) She is so determined, specially when it comes to the finals. Got us in that position at the end of the powerplay. Always has the ability to stand up for us in clutch moments and was awesome again tonight

First time World Cup winner Lucy Hamilton: Unbelievable, don't think you can put it in words. Incredibly happy to see the girls in such a mood. Lord's was such a big occasion, was really pumped up. It was a long trip for the family to come up here, nice to have them up here
