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

#5 Failure to keep composure with target in sight

Raut’s gritty knock went in vain

Few would have put their money on the English women after Punam Raut-Harmanpreet Kaur’s 95-run partnership and Punam-Veda Krishnamurthy’s 53-run stand left India needing just 38 runs, with seven wickets and as many overs in hand.

Raut then became Shrubsole’s second victim. The Englishwoman then went on to bag four more wickets, those of Veda, Goswami, Deepti Sharma and Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and effect a run-out in the space of 28 runs and six overs.

While Veda played her part with a knock of 35 runs, none of the lower order batswomen showed composure and failed to drag India to the target.
