The Women in Blue will play the hosts England at the historic Lord's cricket ground in London on Sunday. This is the second time in the history of women's cricket when India have made it to the final of a World Cup. The last time they achieved the feat was back in 2005.


Riding on a blistering unbeaten knock of 171 by Harmanpreet Kaur against Australia in a rain-curtailed semi-final, India posted 281/3 in allotted 42 overs and later bundled out the Meg Lanning-led side for 245 to win the match by 36 runs.


Mithali Raj and Co. are trying everything ahead of the big final and have been sweating it out in the nets.
