2:42 PM IST, 5:12 PM Local Time: Team India win the gold medal match against Sri Lanka defeating the Lionesses by 19 runs in the finals of the women's cricket competition in the Asian Games 2022.
Harmanpreet Kaur was back as India skipper leading the team for the 100th time in her career. She won the toss and decided to bat first. India managed 116/7 on a bowler friendly track on the back of 46 from Smriti Mandhana and 42 from Jemimah Rodrigues.
Chasing 117, the Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu started off with a four and a six but Pooja Vastrakar and fellow fast bowler Titas Sadhu brought the Indian side back in the game. Sadhu picked up 2 wickets in her first over and returned to get rid of the Lankan skipper in her second over.
Hasini Perera (25 off 22) and Nilakshi de Silva (23 off 34) then stitched a 36-run stand which took the game back in balance but Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/20) removed Perera in the 10th over bringing India back in the hunt.
Oshadi Ranasinghe then scored 19 off 26 in another small partnership with Nilakshi where 28 runs were added for the 5th wicket. It was Pooja Vastrakar who came back for her final over and removed Nilakshi with a low full toss.
Oshadi who had hit a couple of boundaries was the next to depart with Deepti Sharma (1/25) getting her wicket. Devika Vaidya (1/15) bowled a tidy spell and had Kavisha Dilhari caught out with Richa Ghosh taking a magnificent catch.
Gayakwad then bowled the final over with 25 to defend and dismissed Sugandika Kumari on the penultimate ball of the inning. Both Sadhu and Vastrakar in their wonderful spells bowled a maiden over apiece. A total of 73 dot balls was delivered in the second innings.

19.6 R Gayakwad to U Prabodhani
1 Short and outside the off stump, played off the backfoot towards Kaur at extra cover for just a single. India win by 19 runs and win the gold medal! Some effort from the Indian contingent. The second gold medal of the day for the nation. After failing to go past the finish line in the Commonwealth Games last year, this is an awesome statement made by the Indian girls.
Udeshika Prabodhani is the new batter.
Another one bites the dust and signs of desperation mixed with despair from Kumari.
19.5 R Gayakwad to S Kumari
W GONE!! Another wicket for Rajeshwari Gayakwad to add in her kitty! Bowls a flighted delivery on good length and keeps it away from Kumari's reach outside the off stump. The left hander charges down the track to slash the ball away but makes no contact. Richa Ghosh does the rest whipping the bails off in a flash.
So, India Women will be securing Gold!!!!! Making the nation proud with their endeavour.
19.4 R Gayakwad to S Kumari
2 Good length and just outside off, drilled past the covers. Smriti Mandhana chases the ball with Kumari getting back successfully for the 2nd run.
