Team India paid a heavy price for leaving out their senior-most player Mithali Raj from the XI in the semi-final clash against England on Thursday — an eight-wicket defeat and a numbing exit. After being unbeaten in the four group stage games, India were completely off colour. From being 89-2, they slumped to 112 all out in 19.3 overs.

India did manage to get rid of England openers Danielle Wyatt (8) and Tammy Beaumont (1) inside the first five overs, but they were left off the hook as Amy Jones (53 not out) and Natalie Sciver (52 not out) helped England chase the paltry total with 17 balls to spare.
