July 23, 2017 is a date that is unlikely to be forgotten easily in Women's cricket. History was made even before a ball was bowled in the final of the ICC Women's World Cup 2017 with a sell-out crowd at Lord's coming in to witness, and with a record number tuning in. With a setting unlike any other, hosts, and favourites, England won an important toss and chose to bat.

For India - who had to go through a qualifying tournament to get to main event, reaching the final was a major achievement in itself.
