Harmanpreet Kaur Guides India to 147‑Run Gold in Women’s Cricket

India’s women’s cricket team clinched gold with a 147‑run victory over Sri Lanka, posting 216/3 against 69. The win sets the stage for India’s men’s badminton semi‑finals showdown.

India’s women’s cricket squad hammered Sri Lanka by 147 runs, sealing the country’s first gold at the Aichi‑Nagoya Games.

The hosts posted 216/3, their highest tally in Asian Games history, with Smriti Mandhana’s 79 off 45 balls and Richa Ghosh’s 49* in 22 deliveries.

Bowling then turned the game; Shafali Verma added 48 off 29 and the seamers scooped 10 for 32, leaving Sri Lanka stranded at 69.

Meanwhile, the men’s team edged Japan 3‑0 in the pool, with Lakshya Sen rallying from 14‑19 to win 21‑19 after a shaky start, and Rankireddy and Shetty sealing the set with 21‑18, 24‑22.

Wushu star Roshibina Devi Naorem already secured a bronze, while the men’s hockey side kept the goal‑fest alive with a 16‑1 win over Sri Lanka. India now looks ahead to the badminton semi‑finals against Japan’s duo and the wushu quarter‑finals for another medal.
