For Williams, this marks her second time standing in a T20 World Cup final, having previously overseen Australia's 2023 title win over South Africa. Currently officiating in her fifth tournament, she has already been a familiar fixture for both finalists, having held the whistle for England's opening victory against Sri Lanka, their semi-final triumph over South Africa, and Australia's pivotal group-stage win over India.
In contrast, Vrinda Rathi will be making her debut as an on-field umpire in a World Cup final. Like her partner, Rathi has spent the tournament closely watching both teams advance, having officiated Australia's semi-final victory against the West Indies as well as England’s earlier group-stage win over Ireland.
