The 2017 ICC Women's World Cup Final was a women's One Day International cricket match played between England and India to decide the winner of the 2017 Women's World Cup. England won the game by nine runs to secure their fourth World Cup title, with Anya Shrubsole named player of the match. It was one of the closest finals in tournament history, with only the 2000 final being decided by a narrower margin.
The final was played at Lord's, London, on 23 July 2017. Lord's had been announced as the host on 8 February 2016.[2] The game was sold out, with a near-capacity crowd of around 24,000 in attendance.[3] The bell to signal the start of play was rung by Eileen Ash, who at 105 years old was the oldest surviving international cricketer at the time.[4]
