England vice-captain Seamer Anya Shrubsole has said England are aiming to produce the “perfect game” when they face India in the Women’s World Cup final at Lord’s today.
England have won six straight matches since losing the opening game to India.
“It gave us many lessons to learn,” Shrubsole, 25, told BBC World Service’s Stumped.
“Since then we’ve moved forward. The exciting thing is we feel like we’ve yet to put a perfect game together. Fingers crossed it happens on Sunday [today].”
England captain Heather Knight has confirmed that her side will be unchanged for the final. “We ensured that if we got to the World Cup final there weren’t too many surprises,” she added.
“We knew the surroundings really well. We knew what to expect. It was always a ‘just in case’ but also to inspire us. All that will stand us in good stead now that we’ve made the final.”
