Women cricketers say they would "love to go to LA" to chase Olympic glory after a strikingly successful debut at the Commonwealth Games. Australia beat India by nine runs in Sunday's final in front of a big, noisy crowd at Edgbaston to underline their status as the world's best team. New Zealand earlier hammered host nation England by eight wickets to take the bronze medal.
Australia Women captain Meg Lanning, who recently led the team to the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games, is taking an indefinite break from cricket, Cricket Australia (CA) announced in a statement on Wednesday. "Australia Women's Team captain, Meg Lanning has advised Cricket Australia (CA) that she will take a period of indefinite leave effective immediately," CA wrote in its statement. She will miss this year's edition of The Hundred and a decision on her participation in Australia's home summer will be taken later, the board said.
Indian women's cricket team played a nail-biting final match against Australia at the Commonwealth Games 2022 on Sunday. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side chased a target of 162 runs and was in a state of bother towards the final stages of the game. This is when Yastika Bhatia changed everyone's expression in the dressing room within seconds. While walking out to bat in the game, Yastika tried to go over the advertisement board to enter the ground but her right foot stuck on the board and the batter fell awkwardly on the ground.
Heartbroken after a gold medal slipped out of their hands, India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur harped on the need to stop repeating same mistakes in 'title clashes', saying the "mental block" has to be broken, going forward. Indian team came to close winning coveted gold on women cricket's CWG debut but fell short by nine runs after being in a dominant position against mighty Australia. It was deja vu for Harmanpreet and Co. who had suffered a similar inexplicable batting collapse during the T20 World Cup finals defeat against Australia in 2020 and the 2017 ODI World Cup final in England.
Sourav Ganguly, the President of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has congratulated the Indian women's cricket team on winning a silver medal at the ongoing Commonwealth Games. However, he also said that the team would be disappointed on missing gold as it was "their game". India lost the gold medal match against Australia by 9 runs at Edgbaston, Birmingham as they failed to chase down 162.
The gold medal match in the women's cricket event of the Commonwealth Games 2022, ended with Australia being crowned as the champions and India settling with a silver medal. Chasing 162, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side faced a nine-run defeat in the thrilling summit clash against the mighty Australia. Despite losing, Team India gave their fans a very special moment to cherish and that was a spectacular one-handed catch by Deepti Sharma to dismiss Australia batter Beth Mooney.
The Indian women's cricket team once again succumbed to the big stage fright to suffer a nine-run defeat against the mighty Australia in the gold medal match of the Commonwealth Games here on Sunday. The 'Women In Blue' lost the battle of nerves and also the last five wickets for 13 runs with some poor strategic moves and even more atrocious shot selections leaving a lot to be desired. Losing like winning is also a habit and in the end, the self belief of the Southern Stars prevailed with the opposition taking a lot of pressure on themselves.
Cricket Australia (CA) on Sunday confirmed that cricketer Tahlia McGrath returned a positive test for COVID-19 ahead of the Commonwealth Games gold medal match against India. "CGA clinical staff have consulted with the Commonwealth Games Federation RACEG (Results Analysis Clinical Expert Group) team and match officials, and McGrath is taking part in today's final against India," stated an official Cricket Australia release.
