The Indian women's cricket will be taking on Pakistan in their second Group A game of the ongoing Commonwealth Games.

Day 2 of the ongoing Commonwealth Games saw India's opening its medal tally with weightlifter Sanket Sargar clinching a silver medal in the 55kg weight category.

In badminton, India ended up winning the mixed team event matches after defeating Sri Lanka 5-0 and then Australia x-x while pugilist Mohammed Hussamuddin defeated South Africa's Amzolele Dyeyi in the men's featherweight category to move into the pre-quarterfinals, and Lovlina Borgohain also progressed to the quarters in her xx category.
A huge upset looked to be on the cards when Renuka dismantled Australia’s famed top order of Alysaa Healy (0), Beth Mooney (10), skipper Meg Lanning (8) and Tahilia McGrath (14) in quick succession, leaving them tottering at 34/4 in the fifth over. However, bouncing back from the early setbacks in tremendous fashion, the seven-time ODI and current T20 world champions then showed why they are the true, unbeatable ‘superpower’ of women’s cricket. Slamming a match-winning half-century, Ashleigh Gardner (52 not out, 35b, 9x4), Grace Harris (37, 20b, 5x4, 2x6) and No. 9 Alana King (18 not out, 16b, 3x4) displayed the might of Australia’s batting depth, as the gold-medal favourites cantered to the target with an over to spare.
