they shouldn’t be disappointed, they should be proud of that silver medal
they should be disappointed for still not having a proper system in place for them
and it’s a bit ironic when he talks about a final game lol#CWG2022 https://t.co/ydsrD7ow7o

With all due respect Sir, we need Women’s IPL even a month long.
Currently we have the top middle order & bowlers sorted, but we need that pressure handling scenarios.
That’ll only come through leagues like WBBL & the Women’s Hundred
Women’s Challenger Trophy is not enough https://t.co/Pu5RVJo38K

Australia finished at 161/8 as opener Beth Mooney top-scored with 61. Apart from the 74-run stand between Beth and captain Meg Lanning, Australia wasn’t allowed to break free as India conceded only 36 runs in the last five overs, taking five scalps. India were splendid in their fielding, making tight stops, taking brilliant catches and effecting terrific run-outs. With the ball, Renuka Thakur and Sneh Rana took two wickets each while Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav had a wicket apiece.
However, chasing a target of 162 India kept losing wickets in the middle after skipper Harmanpreet Kaur scored a brilliant fifty. Ashleigh Gardner and Megan Schutt were top performers for Aussies with the ball. Schutt picked two wickets while Gardner claimed three. Australia were just too good for India as they are now the CWG champions and World Cup champions as well. India were brilliant in the semifinal but the Aussies were a slight better than them in final.
