Pakistan in the women's T20 competition. While India will be disappointed to not have closed out the game despite having the Southern Stars on the mat at 49/5 in the eighth over chasing 155, and then needing 89 off the final 10 overs, Pakistan too will be under pressure after going down to Barbados by 15 runs in another Group B clash on Saturday.
India pacer Renuka Singh's dream spell did not prove to be good enough as Australia came back from the brink to pull off a three-wicket win in the Commonwealth Games group A opener at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Friday. The target of 155 should have been a straightforward chase but Renuka, playing only her seventh T20, broke the backbone of Australian batting with figures of four for 18 in four overs.
Commonwealth Games Group A opener on Friday. The target of 155 should have been a straightforward chase but Renuka, playing only her seventh T20, broke the backbone of Australian batting with figures of 4 for 18 in four overs. With Australia on the mat at 49 for 5, India should have completed the job but allowed Ashleigh Gardner (52 not out off 35 balls) to change the game in two game-changing stands of 51 and 47 with Grace Harris (37) and Alana King (18 not out) respectively.

As per the latest rankings released by the ICC, Yadav has progressed seven places to the 13th among bowlers after bagging four wickets in the series against Sri Lanka, which India won 2-1.

As per the latest rankings released by the ICC, Radha Yadav has jumped seven places to 13th among bowlers after bagging four wickets in the series against Sri Lanka, which India won 2-1. In batting rankings, Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu has moved up one place to a career-best seventh position after aggregating 139 runs in three matches.
The series already in their pocket, a confident India will look to complete a clean-sweep when they take on hosts Sri Lanka in the third and final women's T20 International in Dambulla on Monday. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led outfit had thrashed the home team by 34 runs in the opening T20 and then followed it up with a dominating five-wicket win in the second game to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. More importantly, the wins will be a morale booster for India ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham starting next month, where women's T20 cricket is set to make its debut. India seem to have found the winning momentum, but they won't be entirely pleased with their performance in the series so far. While the bowlers have done a stellar job in the two games, India's batting has left a lot to be desired. Additionally, the Indians have been sloppy on the field. (LIVE SCORECARD)

"They (bowlers) did a really good job today and also in the last match to defend 139," Mandhana said at the post-match press conference.
