Women’s T20 World Cup officials set for Lord’s Final

The Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Officials has been confirmed for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Final at Lord’s, where hosts England face six‑time champions Australia. Jacquline Williams and Vrinda Rathi will serve as on‑field umpires, with Kim Cotton appointed third umpire and Nimali Perera acting as fourth. GS Lakshmi will oversee the contest as Match Referee.

Williams, officiating at her fifth Women’s T20 World Cup, previously stood in the 2023 Final and has handled several key matches this edition, including England’s opener and their semi‑final win over South Africa. She also oversaw Australia’s crucial group victory against India.

For Rathi, this marks her first Final as an on‑field umpire. She has officiated games involving both finalists, including England’s win over Ireland and Australia’s semi‑final triumph against the West Indies. With both teams unbeaten, today’s showdown promises a high‑stakes finale under an experienced officiating team.
