The celebrations will continue after the match, with multi-platinum electronic pop group Clean Bandit taking the stage once the new Women's T20 World Cup champions are crowned.
Australia, who have won the title six times, have already secured a place in the final. Hosts England will take on South Africa in the second semi-final at The Oval on July 2 to decide the other finalist.
The final of the biggest Women's T20 World Cup so far is expected to be a full house, with cricket fans and music lovers set to gather at Lord's for a day packed with entertainment both on and off the field.
The closing ceremony follows the tournament's opening celebration on June 12, when the cast of the hit musical Wicked performed before the opening match between England and Sri Lanka.
Spectators have also been requested to be seated by 2 PM local time to ensure they do not miss the performances before the final. (ANI)
