Before the match started Australia captain Meg Lanning won the toss and the Indian cricket team was asked to ball first. The Australian cricket team scored their highest ever scores and gave India a target of 184 runs to chase. However, the Indian cricket team was bundled up at 99 runs only and lost the game by 85 runs.
Though it was heartbreaking to see our ‘Women In Blue’ lost the prestigious cup but it was also a moment of pride for every Indian that our Indian women reached the world cup stage.
INNINGS BREAK!
