With 139 matches under her belt, Jenny Gunn is undoubtedly the most experienced head in the English bowling line-up. She brought all her experience into play as she gave literally nothing for the Indian batswomen to work with.

She didn’t pick up a wicket but made sure that she doesn’t leak runs to make things simpler for India. In her spell of 7 overs, she managed to bowl 29 dot balls while conceding 17 runs. She also bowled a couple of maiden overs, which helped England build pressure on the Indian team.

On a day when her team needed her to deliver, she bowled exceptionally well to help England clinch the World Cup title in front of their home crowd.
