Going into the final in the matter of balls, it was decided that both teams would be unable to turn around the match at The Oval.

England’s team captain Charlotte Edwards said the match with a quote “won back the fans” (proven by the fans), which made the match clear. It was also said that the team won with the crack, and not with physical strength in the field, as Australia — indeed, strong command, with England, with its words, “not too far away”.
