Kolkata, Aug 8 (IBNS): Senior Indian women team pacer Jhulan Goswami on Monday said the fate of the women's World Cup final changed during the last one hour.

Addressing  the  students of  Aditya  School of Sports  (ASOS) here Monday , Jhulan, who  bagged three England scalps in the World Cup final in Derby, England last month , said “In cricket nothing can be predicted."

She said: "During  the final we tried our best. But in the last one hour the game changed. Yes we have missed it narrowly, but  we have been able to make an impact  about women cricket among the people all over the country.”

ASOS, where Jhulan is a mentor, is the result of an initiative taken by city based AdityaGgroup a year ago.

At present the school has  nearly 400 boys and girls  learning cricket and football  under the guidance of  prominent coaches in Bengal.

The ASOS students  felicitated their mentor for her  fine performance in the last World Cup and presented a cricket  ball made of silver,  a memento and a jersey signed by the boys and girls learning cricket in ASOS.

The  women cricket icon advised students to keep their connection  with whatever sports they like as “it teaches one so much  in life”.

Jhulan said, “ You may not take up sports as a career. But be connected with  some sports as it will teach you how to overcome  if any difficulty arises."

Replying  question from the media , Jhulan informed that she is looking forward for the  next World Cup and would begin her practice schedule in right time after about ten days time.

England defeated India to win the World Cup.
