ICC Women's World Cup: 'Women in Blue' win hearts even in a loss

People take to social media to hail the performance of the Indian eves in the tournament

The Indian women's cricket team lost to England by nine runs in the final of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup at Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday. It was a case of 'so near and yet so far' for India as they suffered a middle and lower order batting collapse to lose to England.
 

Electing to bat first, England produced a total of 228 for seven in their 50 overs. Jhulan Goswami's bowling figures of 3-23 and Poonam Yadav's 2-36 helped India restrict England to this total.
 

The Indian eves rode on half-centuries from opener Poonam Raut and Harmanpreet Kaur
