This is the best conditions India would have asked for in the tournament as it was similar to the ones the players get back home in India. It assisted the spinners, had uneven bounce, the ball was stopping and still, they managed to take just two England wickets.

Instead of having a set plan, the bowlers reacted to what the opposition did as they altered the length based on what happened on the previous ball and ended up getting hit. By the time they realized, it became too little, too late for Kaur's girls. Even with dew on the ground, there should have been a better defence of that total.
