Despite the challenges posed by the batting pitch, the team secured victory by defeating Sri Lanka by 19 runs, with Titas Sadhu emerging as the star player.
The gold medal win has boosted the confidence of the Indian women’s cricket team, with Jemimah Jessica Rodrigues, a team member, remarking, « This win gives us a lot of confidence. If we can win a gold here, we can also win the World Cup, Commonwealth, and Olympics. »

While cricket has been a part of the Quadrennial Games for over 70 years, it only joined the program in 2010, in Guangzhou, China. Although it briefly returned in 2014 in Incheon, South Korea, cricket was omitted from the 2018 Jakarta Games. »
