Women’s T20 WC: ICC Names Nimali Perera, Claire Polosak As Match Officials For Final
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Sri Lanka's Nimali Perera and Claire Polosak of Australia will umpire their first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final as they take charge of South Africa v New Zealand on Sunday. Anna Harris will act as the third umpire, with Jacquline Williams serving as the fourth umpire while G.S. Lakshmi has been selected as the match referee for the final in Dubai, the ICC informed in a release on Saturday.
Perera stood in the semifinal between Australia and South Africa earlier in the tournament, having also officiated last year’s semifinal between Australia and India.
Claire Polosak is a highly experienced umpire, with Sunday marking her 64th career women’s T20 international, and the 2024 final marks the first time she will oversee an ICC World Cup final. Polosak was one of the on-field umpires during the 2023 edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup semifinals in South Africa, as well as this year’s semifinal between West Indies and New Zealand in Sharjah.
