ICC Women's World Cup 2017: Team of the tournament

All-rounders

Indian duo of Harman and Deepti feature in the playing XI

Without a second thought, Harmanpreet Kaur played the best knock of the ICC World Cup 2017 and showed why she is regarded as one of the best players going around at the moment by performing under pressure in two must-win matches for her team.

Harman did the job for her team with both bat and ball and finds a place in our team of the tournament along with fellow all-rounders Deepti Sharma and Ellyse Perry.

After a pale patch with the bat earlier in the tournament, Harman, who played the tournament with a finger injury, made amends scoring an unbeaten 171 in the semis against the Southern Stars.

In the seven innings she batted, Harman scored 359 runs at an average of 60 and a strike-rate of 96. Out of those 359 runs, 282 came in three must-win games, something that shows how good she is under pressure.

With the ball, she will be a decent option as the sixth bowler. She took five wickets at an average of 38.

Ellyse Perry had a great tournament again

Once again, Ellyse Perry set a tournament on fire with her heroics with both bat and ball. Perry amassed 404 runs with the bat in 8 innings at an average of 81 and a strike-rate of 78 and with the ball, she picked up 9 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 37.

Perry is also the only batter to score five fifties in the tournament and incidentally, she scored all her half-centuries in consecutive matches.

Deepti Sharma is the surprise package of the tournament. Deepti, who is just 19, had a memorable first World Cup and is one of the main reasons why India reached the final. She scored runs with the bat, took wickets with the ball and was safe in the field.

Deepti was India's leading wicket-taker with 12 wickets at an average and economy of 31 and 4.7 respectively. She also scored 216 crucial runs for the eventual runners-up at an average of 31 and a strike-rate of just under 60.
