ICC Women's World Cup: Cricketers hail Jhulan Goswami for her fiery bowling Vs England

Jhulan Goswami's brilliant bowling effort in the final match was commended by several cricketers and enthusiasts.

Goswami scythed through the English middle-order and delivered with three wickets in the most widely watched game in the history of women's cricket.

The highlight of the lanky Bengali's outing was the back-to-back dismissals of Sarah Taylor and Fran Wilson, which pegged England back.

Jhulan, the leading wicket-taker in the women's ODI format, was at her menacing best and troubled England batswomen who were facing trouble against her experience.

The speedster's brilliant bowling effort in the final match was commended by several cricketers and enthusiasts.

Here's how people reacted on Twitter:

Sachin Tendulkar

"Keep going strong Jhulan. A perfect ball for someone especially after good partnership. Smart thinking," wrote the former India captain in another tweet.

Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag lauded Jhulan Goswami for her impressive bowling.

ICC

"It's a Goswami party," wrote ICC on it's Twitter handle.

Farhan Akhtar

A former ICC Player of the Year, Jhulan finished her spell with impressive figures of 3/23 in the allotted 10 overs, which included three maidens.

The end of Jhulan's spell proved to be a boon for England, who rode on Katherine Brunt's 42-ball 34 and Jenny Gunn's 25 off 38 balls towards the end to sign off with a respectable total.
