IND vs AUS, CWG 2022 gold medal match live: India are up against the might of Australia in the first ever women's cricket final at the Commonwealth Games. Harmanpreet Kaur's side will know exactly how tricky it is to beat Australia in a match of this proportion. These teams have faced each other in the final of the T20 World Cup last year and while India had defeated Australia in that same tournament earlier, they were absolutely taken apart on that particular occasions. At the CWG itself, India had lost to Australia by three wickets in the opening match despite having their opponents down 49/5 while they were chasing at one point. Follow all the updates here: Aug 07, 2022 08:25 PM IST IND vs AUS, CWG final: Sneh Rana's performance against England Rana (4-0-28-2) and Deepti Sharma (4-0-18-1) fashioned India's memorable win after Smriti Mandhana recorded the fastest half-century in T20 cricket. "In matches like this, roles have to be changed. Deepti's overs in the middle were important. Rana was amazing bowling with only three fielders in the deep. That will be remembered for a long time," Mandhana said after the game.

Aug 07, 2022 07:39 PM IST IND vs AUS, CWG final Live: The last CWG cricket final It is a bit of misconception that the South Africa men's team have never won a major title. For they were the holders of the gold medal the last time cricket was played in the Commonwealth Games in 1998. It was men's ODI cricket that was played in Kuala Lumpur of course and Shaun Pollock's South Africa beat Steve Waugh's Australia by four wickets to win the title. However, there has never been any form of cricket since the 1998 CWG before 2022, or before that particular event either so the winner today will indeed be the first women's cricket team to win a gold medal at the CWG. Aug 07, 2022 07:36 PM IST IND vs AUS, CWG final: Hello and welcome! India have been impressive so far in their run to the final, particularly in the way they managed to keep England at bay in the semis to assure themselves of at least a silver. But they will know that they may have to find a new level to beat Meg Lanning's Australia, the perennial winners of women's cricket. Stay tuned as we build up to this historic match.
