Five Indian moments at the ICC Women's World Cup

In a nerve-wracking ICC Women's World Cup finale at the Lord's in London on Sunday, Mithali and her band of gutsy girls fell short by nine runs as pacer Anya Shrubsole's match-winning 6-46 handed England their fourth World Cup. Though the 'Women in Blue' lost the final but they still managed to win the millions of hearts. Here are our pick of the best five moments...HARMANPREET KAUR'S 171 N.O AGAINST AUSTRALIA IN THE SEMIFINALS(Getty Images)India's T20 skipper unleashed her aggressive instinct when India needed it the most. The 28-year-old's unbeaten 115 ball 171(20x4, 7x6) will go down in the history of World Cup as one of the most stunning innings. Coming in when India were at 35-2, she first tackled the new ball before going after the bowlers, especially after her half-century.JHULAN GOSWAMI'S 3-23 AGAINST ENGLAND IN THE FINALJhulan Goswami celebrates the wicket of Fran Wilson of England (Getty Images)Playing probably her last World Cup game, the tireless Jhulan came up with the joint third best figures in a World Cup final. In what has been an otherwise average World Cup for the talented pace ace, she delivered when it mattered the most. She ripped through the England batting line-up with her second spell which read: 5-1-14-3 and made every ounce of her experience count.MITHALI RAJ'S 109 AND CRUCIAL PARTNERSHIPS AGAINST NEW ZEALANDMithali Raj plays a shot off in front of Rachel Priest of New Zealand.

From there on, the Pakistanis found her hard to read and play and she deservingly walked away with the player of the match.RAJESHWARI GAYAKWAD'S 5-15 AGAINST NEW ZEALANDRajeshwari Gayakwad celebrates with teammates after she bowls out New Zealand's Amy Satterthwaite.
