AUS-W wins the gold and defeated India-W in close match

Harmanpreet Kaur played a gutsy knock of 65 runs but couldn’t save India from a defeat as Australia won the match by nine runs to win the inaugural Commonwealth Games cricket gold medal.

• Deepti Sharma departs for 13 and it’s very difficult for India to win the match from here. It was plumb in the front of the wicket but Deepti takes a review to check her luck but it didn’t work out. IND 149/8 in 18.3 overs
