India vs England Women's World Cup Final Highlights: Anya Shrubsole Helps Hosts Clinch Fourth Title

India will fancy their chances of becoming champions of this edition of ICC Women’s World Cup when they face England in the final at Lord’s. In retrospect, where India played the final of the 2005 World Cup against Australia, Sunday marks a big day again for the team with better in form performers swaying their best foot forward.

Meanwhile, Jhulan Goswami will have a chance to create history by becoming the first Indian woman to reach 1000 runs and 100 wickets as she is just four runs short of the target.

Harmanpreet Kaur has already registered the second highest One-Day International (ODI) innings for India when she scored an unbeaten 171 against Australia in the semifinals. Deepti Sharma had already scored 188 against Ireland at Senwes Park in May 2017. Also catch live streaming from Ind vs Eng final of ICC Women’s World Cup

In the last 12 months the team was gelling up well. It has a right balance of youth experience and raw aggression that is visible in all three departments – batting, bowling and fielding.The Indian eves will have to keep in mind five crucial points in order to etch their names in history of the women’s World Cup.

Firstly, with the best spinners in form having delivered in a place where swing and seam thrives, India’s Deepti Sharma registered an excellent bowling performance taking three wickets in 8.3 overs while conceeding 47 runs.

Secondly, in the league match against England, India had their tails up especially when setting targets, where Smriti Mandhana, Poonam Raut and Mithali Raj posted a total of 247 in a victory against England.

Thirdly, India’s rotation in players is emerging to lead the charge towards victory. In a gradual process staring off with Mandhana and Raut shifting to Mithali, Ekta Bisht and Rajeshwari and now the focus is successfully on Harmanpreet Kaur that seems to be the right action at the right time.
