London, July 23 (IBNS): Indian bowlers restricted England to 228 runs for the loss of seven wickets in the historic final match of the women's world cup at the iconic Lord's cricket ground here on Sunday.

India will need to score 229 runs to lift their maiden title.

Bengal's Jhulan Goswami's topped the Indian bowling chart as she used all her experience to pick up three wickets by giving away 23 runs in her 10 overs, adding three maiden overs to help the visitors.

The hosts found themselves in deep troubles as they were reduced to 3-63.

English captain Heather Knight failed in the match and contributed just 1 runs with her willow.

Natalie Sciver (51) and Sarah Taylor (45) top scored for the hosts.

Poonam Yadav picked up two wickets for India.
