That's it from this game and this tournament. The tournament favourites India Women have come out on top. We hope you enjoyed our company. Until next time, goodbye and take care.
It is India Women who have won the gold medal. They though were expected to excel in this sport and they have done so. 117 was always going to be tough but Chamari Athapaththu started off well. However, the pacers were brilliant with the new ball, especially, Titas Sadhu. Hasini Perera and Nilakshi de Silva did keep Lanka's hopes alive but India kept picking wickets when needed. In the end, it was a tough ask for the lower order and India Women came out on top quite comfortably.

Tossed up wide of off, Kavisha Dilhari looks to play the slog sweep but outside edges this towards third man region for a couple. Deepti Sharma does well to chase this down and throw bang on top of stumps as Richa Ghosh removes the bails. The third Umpire is called into action for a run-out check and the video suggests the batter is safely in.
