Women's WC 2022: The story of two instances when India reached World Cup final but could not lift title
Mithali Raj-led side will look to end their World Cup title drought. Having tasted defeat by just nine runs in the final of the 2017 World Cup against England, India went on to reach the T20 World Cup decider in 2020. However, once again they faltered at the last hurdle, losing to a strong Australian side at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) by 85 runs. India also cruised to the final back in 2005. In the summit clash, Australia posted 215/4 after Karen Rolton, the No.3 batter, scored an unbeaten 107. India didn’t stand a chance after that, and was bowled out for just 117.
