Harmanpreet Kaur-led India defeated England in the semi-final to progress to the gold medal match at the ongoing Commonwealth Games
Spinner Sneh Rana held her own in the final over as she defended 14 runs to help Harmanpreet Kaur-led Team India defeat England in the semi-finals to progress to the gold medal match at the ongoing Commonwealth Games. By the time Rana was to deliver the final over, the fate of the match was almost sealed with England needing 11 runs. And India knew they had won with one delivery to spare, with the equation down to 11 off 1 ball. The final delivery was hit for a six by Sophie Ecclestone, but it did not matter, as Team India sealed the contest and the players were absolutely chuffed at having ensured themselves at least a silver medal.
