Sneh Rana was the leading lady with the ball picking up 4/38 in 9.2 overs while Amanjot Singh ended with 3/54 from her eight overs.
Smriti Mandhana was adjudged the Player of the Final while Sneh Rana won the Player of the Tournament award for scalping 15 wickets, the highest by any bowler in the series.
