IND Women vs SL Women, Final at Hangzhou, Asian Games (W), Sep 25 2023 - Match Result

India win by 19 runs, and they have won the gold medal at the women's cricket event at the Asian Games! A historic moment for Indian cricket, and they have been full value for their victory today! Back of a length outside off. Prabodhani cuts it into the off side and trudges across to the other end. The celebrations begin in the Indian camp, all of them are walking around with smiles on their faces. They know they have come up trumps when it really mattered. As for Sri Lanka, well, they might be left with a feeling of what might have been!

stumped by a mile! Fired in full outside off. Sugandika pre-meditates her advance and swings at it, because, well, why not. Misses the ball completely and Ghosh holds her nerve to effect the stumping!

full outside off. Sugandika drills it towards extra cover, who misfields and ends up conceding the second

length delivery hung well outside off. Sugandika steps across her stumps, slogs at it and then misses. Not called a wide because of her shuffle

back of a length on off stump. Sugandika goes back and pulls it towards deep mid wicket

all SL manage is a wicket! Floated up nicely on leg stump, and it seems Dilhari has been done in by the flight. Comes down the track, looking to maul it over cow corner but is not to the pitch of the ball. Swings way too early and the ball spoons up off the leading edge. Ghosh calls early and makes no mistake!

length on leg stump. Sugandika comes down the track and heaves it towards deep square leg

much fuller on off stump, and that allows Dilhari to get some purchase on the slog. Cannot get it past deep square leg, though

given even more air on a length outside off. Dilhari swishes and misses

has Dilhari run herself out?! Flighted up again outside off. Dilhari looks to mow it over cow corner. All she manages, though, is an outside edge that flies past the keeper. Short third cuts it off and fires it back at the stumps as Dilhari tries to scamper back for the second. Stretches every sinew and just about makes it! From one angle, it seemed she had made it, but from another, it looked touch-and-go. In the end, the umpire made the right decision!

flighted up full outside off. Sugandika has a slog at it and squirts it off the inside edge towards short fine leg

fuller and slower outside off. Sugandika continues swinging like a rusty gate and makes no contact. Ghosh does not gather cleanly, though, and the batters sneak in a bye

length on leg stump. Sugandika swipes at it and misses it completely

Ranasinghe perishes! Is that the game?! Length delivery on off stump that grips in the surface and bounces extra again. Ranasinghe, like she did earlier in the over, looks for the reverse but can only pop it straight to short third because of the extra bounce! SL sink further into trouble!

full on off stump. Dilhari gets down on one knee again and slugs it to deep mid wicket

gets pinged on the grille! Full on middle and off. Dilhari hacks across the line and the ball kisses the top edge before hitting her flush on the grille

well well! Tossed up just outside off. Ranasinghe has a massive go at the reverse sweep, almost switching over to a right-hander. Misses it completely and the keeper cannot gather either. SL get a bye for all their troubles

shortish on off stump. Ranasinghe takes her eyes off the ball slightly and hoicks it on the bounce to deep mid wicket
