India need 229 runs to lift maiden World Cup title

The England batswoman had moved across, trying to guide one through the leg side.

Beating England in the final will be a tough task. This is India's chance to script history.

While Hussain predicted an English win on Sunday, citing more depth in the home side, he also cautioned them against any complacency, given that India are the only side to beat England in the group stages of the tournament.

Coverage of England v India in the Women's World Cup final will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket (Sky channel 404 and Virgin Channel 504) from 10:30am BST.

India have been on the backfoot in pursuit of a wicket. 3-5, at an average of 55.15 and a strike rate of 99.45. She dismissed Natalie Sciver (51) followed by Katherine Brunt (0) to put the England women's team under pressure.

Both the openers departed after the tenth over.

The highlight of the lanky Bengali's outing was the back-to-back dismissals of Sarah Taylor and Fran Wilson, which pegged England back.

"For me and Jhulan (Goswami) it is very special because we are the only players from 2005 still with the team and for us it feels like going back to 2005". However, Jhulan nearly had Winfield out, when she appealed for an LBW. Her vast experience will come handy. Beaumont and Winfield then took the Indian bowlers for easy runs.

It's time for No. 1 pick Fultz to turn 76ers into winners
When he heard the news that he was working out for the Sixers , Fultz's first thought was about fast-food chicken sandwiches. They traded down and gave up the chance to draft Markelle Fultz , who was the best player in the draft by far.

As per the reports till now, England Women Team have won the toss and have opted to bat first. I think we need to apply ourselves (when asked about the chase) and bat out the full 50 overs.

A talented sportsman, she began playing cricket for a women's team through her employers at the Civil Service. They've beaten teams such as Pakistan, New Zealand, Australia en route while specific members have gone on to make impressive records.

England will be hoping to avenge their loss to India in the opening match of the ICC Women's World Cup last month. Raj has led from the front with 392 runs she is the second-highest run-getter in this World Cup.

Her exit brought in the big-hitting Harmanpreet Kaur, whose stunning 171 not out had set up India's semi-final win over reigning champions Australia.

Deepti Shamra was India's last hope of pulling off a sensational coup in the dying moments of the match, but the pressure finally got to her. Shrubsole's fifth victim, Deepti had the most ideal ball to hit anywhere she desired, a juicy a good length just outside off.

India: Mithali Raj (captain), Ekta Bisht, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Jhulan Goswami, Mansi Joshi, Harmanpreet Kaur, Veda Krishnamurthy, Smriti Mandhana, Mona Meshram, Shikha Pandey, Poonam, Nuzhat Parween, Poonam Raut, Deepti Sharma and Sushma Verma.

One of the keys to the hosts' success has been different players putting their hands up and delivering match-winning performances when required but Knight admitted that they haven't put in a flawless team performance yet.
