WWC 2017, Final: England v India – Statistical Highlights

England lifted the Women’s World Cup title after defeating India by 9 runs in a dramatic final at the Lord’s. Indians came back well after the first 30 overs to restrict the home side to a total of 228/7 who looked well set for a 250+ total after electing to bat. India in their reply were well on course of winning the title as they had 7 wickets in hand and were just 38 runs away from the win with 7.2 overs to play; thereafter they kept losing wickets and were bowled out for 219 with another 8 balls to be spare.

Here we look at all the stats and records created during the game.
