08/08/2022, 09:22 Australia win Gold after thrilling win over India in the final

Renuka Singh dismissed Alyssa Healy early, but Australia got off to a decent start still with Meg Laning
and Beth Mooney on the charge. At the end of the first six overs, Australia had reached 43/1, only thanks
to 10 runs coming off the last two balls of the Powerplay.
SCORES
India tried to stifle the scoring rate with spin on a tacky surface, and although they found initial success,
the move to bring herself on backfired for Harmanpreet Kaur as Australia took 17 runs from her over.

India crumble

The 96-run stand was broken and suddenly India went into panic mode. Pooja Vastrakar holed out next
over, trying to take on Gardner, while Kaur was dismissed the very next ball, attempting a scoop, only to

spoon a catch to Healy behind the stumps.

RANKINGS
India went from 118/2 to 121/5, and the pressure multiplied when Sneh Rana and Radha Yadav were run
out two overs later. Deepti Sharma, on whom India's hopes rested, was trapped in front by Schutt in the

penultimate over. A review went to waste as India were left with concussion substitute Yastika Bhatia to
carry them to a gold medal.
