Australia are the most successful side in the history of the competition, having won on six previous occasions, but England will be loathe to lose the champions’ status they earned at the previous edition of the tournament in 2017.
The two sides met in the group stage in New Zealand, with Australia taking the win by 12 runs on their way to a perfect record in seven preliminary matches, before beating the West Indies at the semi-final stage.
England, meanwhile, started the group stage slowly but picked up the pace in their final few matches and earned an excellent victory at the semi-final stage to book a place in the final.
