In a tournament that drew the attention of the Indian fans towards women's cricket, the Indian women's team made it to the finals of the Women's World Cup, but missed out on lifting the trophy by a whisker. India reached the final after thrashing Australia in the semifinal courtesy Harmanpreet’s blistering knock of 171*.
This was the second time that they made the finals but failed to convert it into a win.
India were all set for a victory in the final against England but some loose shot-making cost them the match. Eventually, they crumbled under pressure and lost by 9 runs.
