Indian women’s cricket team finished their Birmingham campaign with a Grand Silver medal at Edgbaston on Sunday. Sourav Ganguly, the former cricketer, and present President congratulated team India. Ganguly wrote on Twitter,
Congratulations to the Indian women’s team for winning silver. But they will go home disappointed as it was their game tonite.
Ganguly
Unluckily Indian women missed chasing the race for the Gold medal as they lose the match by just only 9 runs against Australia, but they won millions of Indian hearts as they promised to put the Indian national flag higher in Birmingham…and they finished their promise with a Grand Silver.
BCCI women
We are proud of you #TeamIndia. A tight finish the end and Australia beat India by 9 runs in the final of Commonwealth games. BCCI women wrote on the official Twitter handle.
Congratulation on bagging the SILVER at #CWG2022. We are proud of you, added BCCI women.
Jay Shah
The BCCI secretary Jay Shah also congratulated Team India. He said, Congratulations team India on winning Silver in women’s cricket at the CWG-2022.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur hit a brilliant half-century 65 off 43 balls including 7 fours, and 2 sixes, but her storming performance went in vain as India failed to chase the 162-winning target. Jemimah Rodrigues scored 33 of 33 while chasing the target. On the other hand, Beth Mooney scored (61 off 41, 8 fours) and Ashleigh Gardner picked 3/16 in 3 overs from the Australian Side.
Australia women won the toss and decided to bat first. Opener Mooney (61), Captain Megh Lanning (36 off 26 balls), and all-rounder Gardner (25 off 15 balls) helped Australia as they finished their inning on 161/8 in 20 overs. Indian pacer Renuka Singh could not show her previous performance against Barbados, but she succeeds to book two Aussies (2/25 of 4 ov) in the first inning.
