Rita Ora and Clean Bandit ‘Qualify’ for World Cup Final

The International Cricket Council (ICC) today announced a stellar musical line-up for the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, with global superstars Rita Ora and Clean Bandit set to deliver an unforgettable send-off to the tournament at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground.

The two chart-topping international acts will take to the stage before and after the match, turning the Home of Cricket into the ultimate stage, where sport and music unite.

Rita Ora will headline the closing ceremony, which kicks off at 14h30 local time, bringing her electrifying stage presence and chart-topping catalogue to one of sport’s most iconic venues and setting the tone for a final unlike any other.

Multi-platinum electronic pop phenomenon Clean Bandit’s performance will be the grand finale, bringing their signature anthems to the crowd once the champions are crowned, closing out the tournament with a performance to remember and sending fans home on the ultimate high.

Cricket fans and music lovers alike will flock to a sold out Lord’s for what promises to be a historic occasion both on and off the field.

This exciting announcement follows from a tournament that has already redefined what a global cricket event can be. The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 burst into life with an opening ceremony like no other in the sport’s history, as the cast of the hit West End production of Wicked brought the magic of musical theatre to the cricket field, kicking off the tournament in spectacular and unprecedented fashion.

From a show-stopping opening to a star-studded finale, the ICC continues to push the boundaries of what is possible for women’s cricket, cementing this tournament as a landmark moment in the sport’s history.

With a world-class final, a capacity crowd at Lord’s and an unparalleled entertainment programme, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Final promises to deliver a spectacular conclusion to a tournament that has already established itself as a landmark moment in the history of women’s sport.

Spectators are requested to be seated by 14h00 to ensure they are settled in time for the performances.
