Unfortunately this is only the second game England have lost all year, but it happens to be the World Cup final.
Ealier, after being invited to bat first on a dry pitch, the reigning title holder made 142/4 from its 20 overs.
JE Cameron was named player of the match for her brilliant knock of 45
runs off just 34 balls, hitting 5 boundaries and the only six from
Australia.
Later on the day; Sri Lanka will face West Indies in the ICC World T20 final on the same venue.
