She will look to end the tournament on a high by guiding England to their second triumph with a match-winning knock in the final.

The Australia captain is the joint third-highest wicket-taker of the tournament with ten wickets to her name from six innings. Molineux has been instrumental in stemming the run flow in the middle overs throughout the tournament. She will again hold the key for Australia in the summit clash and will be eager to lead them to an ICC title after three years.
