A fiery spell by Titas Sandhu and tight spin bowling from Deepti Sharma and Devika Vaidya helped India defend a modest total of 117 runs to secure the gold medal in the women's cricket tournament at the ongoing Hangzhou Asian Games, beating Sri Lanka in the final by 19 runs at Hangzhou on Monday.
With this, the Indian women's team has captured a Cricket gold medal in their first Asian Games outing.
The Indian women's team elected to bat first. Sugandika Kumari gave a big jolt to the Women in Blue, dismissing Shafali Varma for just nine runs. India was 16/1 in 3.4 overs.
After this, opener Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues rebuilt the innings.
On what seemed like a tricky, slow surface, they both tested the patience of the Sri Lankan bowlers.
At the end of the powerplay, India was 35/1 in six overs.
At the end of 10 overs, India was at 59/1 with Mandhana 27, and Rodrigues 22 unbeaten at the crease.
