Live music will accompany the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 final at Lord’s on Sunday, July 5, with Rita Ora and Clean Bandit named as the performers.
The ICC revealed the line-up on social media ahead of the second semi-final between South Africa and hosts England. The aim is to pair top-level cricket with entertainment at one of the sport’s best-known grounds.
Schedule of performances
Rita Ora will headline the pre-match show, starting at 2:30 pm local time (7:00 pm IST), and is set to sing several of her biggest hits before the match begins. Clean Bandit, the Grammy-winning electronic pop group, will perform after the final and trophy presentation to close the celebrations once the new champions are crowned.
The ICC has asked spectators to be in their seats by 2:00 pm local time so they do not miss the opening entertainment.
Who will play in the final
Six-time champions Australia have already qualified for the final after another dominant campaign. Their opponents will be decided by the second semi-final, between unbeaten hosts England and South Africa, scheduled for The Oval on July 2.
Lord’s is expected to be close to full, with tickets near to selling out, and the occasion should draw music fans as well as cricket supporters.
