However, Shikha Pandey and Radha Yadav propelled to 131/9 from 79/9. MIW too lost two quick wickets, but Nat Sciver-Brunt got them home in a final-over thriller.
Top-order batter Nat Sciver-Brunt played a title-winning knock for MIW. She came in the middle when MIW lost their first wicket at 13. Nat Sciver-Brunt then added 72 runs with skipper Harmanpreet for the third wicket. She reached her third half-century of the tournament in the penultimate over of the final.
