India and Australia will meet in the title clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, their second face-off in this tournament.

The match will be preceded by a closing ceremony which will feature a performance by pop star Katy Perry.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is expecting a full house at the MCG which would mean that it would break the record for highest attendance for a women`s sports event.
