Needing 245 runs in the final at the P. Sara, Colombo against South Africa on Tuesday, India secured a thrilling last-ball victory with captain Harmanpreet Kaur keeping her calm with an unbeaten knock of 41 off 41 balls.
With eight to win from two balls, Harmanpreet struck a six and collected two runs off the final ball to secure a victory.
It was also India Women's highest successful run chase in ODIs.
Having already secured their ICC Women's World Cup berth courtesy a dominant run in the tournament, India finished on a high, staying unbeaten in the event.
It was an all-round show from India as Deepti Sharma topped the run charts while Ekta Bisht finished as the leading wicket-taker in the tournament.
