The indian women's team missed the historic gold...!?

In the final match of the Commonwealth Women's cricket Tournament, the indian women's team and the Australian women's team were in a serious game. In this, the Australian women's team won the toss and elected to bat first. Corona affected player Tahlia McGrath, who was allowed to play in this match, has caused controversy.
After this, Australia's opening player Hayley lost the game by 7 runs. After this, Lenning and Mooney paired up for the 2nd wicket and added 74 runs. Lenning scored 36 runs off 26 balls. Mooney scored 61 off 41 balls. It includes 8 boundaries.
Tahlia McGrath got out for 2 runs at the end of the corner at 25 places and the team scored 161 runs for the loss of eight wickets at the end of 20 overs. Chasing a target of 162 to win, indian women's opener Shafali Verma was bowled out for 11 runs while much-anticipated Smriti Mandhana was out for 6 runs.
After this, Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who joined the third cricket team, saved the team from collapse by showing a responsible performance. Rodrigues scored 33 runs off 33 balls and captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who struggled alone, added 65 runs off 43 balls. It included seven fours and two sixes.

While the indian team was expected to win, they lost successive wickets and stumbled. After losing their third wicket for 118 runs, the indian team lost the remaining eight wickets before adding the next 34 runs. Needing 11 runs to win in the last over, the indian players were all out on the first ball. With this, the chance of winning a historic gold medal was lost for the indian team. However, as a consolation, the indian women's team won the first silver medal in the history of women's cricket in the Commonwealth Games.
