ICC Women's World Cup 2017 Final, India vs England: 5 things that went wrong for the Indian eves

#2 Shikha Pandey’s spell

Pandey ended with figures of 7-0-53-0

What Shikha Pandey had done right throughout the tourney was landing early blows on the opposition. With Jhulan Goswami tightening the screws from one end, it was Pandey who used to make full use of the pressure and add to her wicket-count.

However, in this match, as Jhulan was bowling one tidy over after another, Shikha was leaking runs at the other end. In her first three overs, the 28-year-old bowler gave away 21 runs, which forced Mithali Raj to introduce spin from the eighth over itself.

After being brought back into the attack later, Shikha gave away runs at an even more alarming rate and ended with figures of 7-0-53-0.
