Australia v India: Semi-Final - ICC Women's World Cup 2017
Pandey castled Beth Mooney in her first over

Coming into this game, India's bowling strong point was their spin attack. Their spinners had taken the majority of the wickets whereas the pacers had not performed as per the expectations. But the County ground had some purchase for the pacers which was exploited beautifully by the duo of Shikha Pandey and Jhulan Goswami.

Both took two wickets each and guided India to the World Cup final because of another impressive bowling performance. Wickets in the first powerplay by these two helped India gain an upper hand in the game whereas their second spells also saw them clinching crucial breakthroughs. The dangerous Perry was scalped by Pandey whereas Goswami managed a brilliant run out of her own bowling to dismiss Jess Jonassen.
