Women’s World Cup 2017 In Numbers

The Women’s World Cup 2017 (WWC’17) has concluded on a high and what a fairy tale it was! Besides India’s dream run to the final, there was England who sparkled to make the final moment and the coveted trophy theirs. Lords seemed to be filled with mixed emotions while at one end England were elated and you could see Sarah Taylor and Co. jumping in joy, at the other end was a teary Indian side, dejected faces bundled up together consoling each other.

But beyond these heart-warming and heart wrenching moments of emotions a lot more happened in the 30 days of the WWC’17. While the individual performances showed flames of brilliance, team work led to many clinical victories, there were batting collapses too and some mind boggling innings to spice it up, and if anything at all seemed missing it was completed by some fiery spells to which exceptional fielding added a finishing touch. This isn’t it there were quite a few records broken, and many others created. The women’s of the game climbed some tall statistical peaks. We at Essentially Sports have crunched out some numbers for you from the WWC’17.
