England have just lost one match in this tournament against the team which they will face in the grand finale.
India eves have their tails up after the win against the six time world champions Australia. England have won the World Cup three times already, whereas India is yet to open its account. The Women in Blue have been in the finals before 12 years back and this time around they will be hoping to clinch the Cup.
Mithali Raj is the second highest scorer in this tournament just behind Australia's Ellyse Perry with 392 runs from 8 games at a healthy average of 49.00. Raj has still one game to go and is more than likely to be the highest run scorer. Not too far behind are English batters; Tammy Beaumont (387) and skipper Heather Knight (363).
India's Deepti Sharma stands fourth in the wicket taking list with 12 wickets, whereas the highest wicket taker for England is the captain Knight with 8 wickets from as many games.
It is expected to be a cracker of a contest between the two sides at Lord's on Sunday. Let us hope for a solid game of cricket and may the best team win.
