Veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami rose to the occasion and produced her best performance of the tournament in the women’s World Cup final. The tall fast bowler dismissed three English batsmen and conceded merely 23 runs in 10 overs.
It’s a pressure game and she brought all her experience into play to help India restrict the opposition to 228. The final is likely to be her last World Cup and she proved to be the difference in the first innings.
Here’s how Twitter celebrated her performance.
