London: England captain Heather Knight hopes her side will have saved their best for last when they face India in the Women's World Cup final at Lord's today.


Tournament hosts England suffered a surprise 35-run defeat by India in their very first pool match of this year's World Cup. But since that Derby disappointment, England have gone seven games unbeaten, edging out defending champions Australia by three runs in pool play before just seeing off South Africa by two wickets in a tense semi-final at Bristol on Tuesday.


"We keep finding ways to win at the moment, we haven't quite put the perfect performance together, we'd readily admit that," said Knight.

"There's still one game to go and if we put a perfect performance in then, I'll be a very happy captain," the top-order batsman added.

"What a (semi-final) game and we're delighted to get to that final. We back the depth in our team and we're finding ways to win at the moment. The plan was to get to Lord's and sing our (team victory) song and we're one step closer to that," said Knight, looking to lead England to a fourth World Cup title and first since 2009.
