Indian Women Cricketers just fell short of creating a history. Yes, they lost to England by just 9 runs in the ICC World Cup finals. Till the last ball they gave a tough fight to the team England. Finally England were crowned as the Champions after the last 7 wickets of India collapsed just for 28 runs.

England had scored 228 runs for the loss of 7 wickets but Indian ladies got off to a flying start. The opener Punam Raut scored 86 runs and hero of the previous game, Harmanpreet Kaur 51 runs. By looking at their batting, crores of Indians thought that India will lift the World Cup with ease. But the pressure of finals hit the Indian ladies at the 43rd over as they started to lose wickets one after the other.

At last, India was all out for 219 runs. Even though India lost the match, but this was a great performance because Indians were initially considered as the underdogs. India was in 7th position, so in order to participate in the match, they had to play qualifier. But as tournament progressed, Indian cricketers showed their dominance even at the superior teams.

Extremely proud of Indian women…super show throughout. Never mind the Trophy….you've won a billion hearts. Our time will come. #WWC17 — Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) July 23, 2017
