As women’s cricket debuted at the Commonwealth Games 2022, the Indian women’s cricket team placed a lot of expectations on their shoulders. The Indian women did not disappoint so far and advanced to the semi-finals of the Games where they will face England on Saturday, 6 August.
On their way to the semi-finals, the Indian women lost just one match against Australia in the opening game. India then beat Pakistan by eight wickets to register a massive 100-run victory over Barbados.
Indian women ticked all the right boxes in batting, bowling and fielding. Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues did well with the bat against India’s opponents. Bowlers Renuka Singh and Sneh Rana did it by taking wickets at crucial occasions.
A tough match is expected between India and England in the semi-final match to be held on Saturday. Both are world-class teams, with England ranked two and India fourth in the ICC Women’s T20I Rankings. A win in the semi-finals will take India one step closer to a historic first gold.
Talking about England, they have been winning matches continuously. The English players, both in batting and bowling, have so far been successful in putting pressure on the opposing teams. Alice Capsi, just 17, has impressed so far and putting England under pressure in the middle order will be a challenge for the Indian bowlers.
