The stage is instantly flooded as the rest of the Australian squad rushes in to join their skipper, and up goes the confetti and champagne to complete the celebrations. Proud faces all around, some with tears of joy, others simply living out the dream they once chased as kids, and a few who have lived this very moment more than once before. All the players now make their way to the CHAMPIONS board to pose for photographs with the iconic Lord's pavilion gracing the background. They now take a lap of thanks to thank all the supporters who turned up in big numbers to cheer them on.

7:05 PM IST Over and out from London - And breathe. Australia are the deserved World T20 Champions for the seventh time. They have proved once again that they are the gold standard in women's cricket. Heartbreak for England on home soil. No Red Roses or Lionesses moment for this England side, even with the stage perfectly set for it. And with that, the tenth edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup draws to a close. It's been quite the ride, packed with memories and iconic moments across more than three weeks. Hope you all enjoyed the coverage along the way. It is time to sign off from here.

6:48 PM IST Next up, the England players are called forward in sequence to collect their runners-up medals, starting with Alice Capsey. Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is the last one to collect hers.

6:47 PM IST The captain of England Women - Nat Sciver-Brunt walks up for a chat and reflects on the defeat. She says she is standing there, hugely disappointed. She reflects on what had been a fantastic tournament for England but admits it is hard to accept the way it ended. Sciver-Brunt concedes that her side was outplayed by a class Australian team, adding that they used all their experience to produce a clinical performance in the final. Admits 150 was below par on that surface, adding that it felt difficult to build momentum throughout the innings and that she was scratching around trying to find the middle of the bat. She credits Australia's bowlers for consistently hitting the right areas and making scoring difficult. On the defence of the total, Sciver-Brunt says England tried to start with intent and hunt for early wickets, but Beth Mooney played a brilliant innings. Feels like they, as a side, have so much to be proud of after all the work they put in before the tournament. She praises the energy within the group, reflects on the brilliant cricket they played throughout the campaign, and describes it as a squad that genuinely cares for one another. As she thanks the crowd, Sciver-Brunt becomes visibly emotional, and her voice cracks as she says it is a privilege to represent her country and that she is incredibly grateful for the support.
