Australia beat India by nine runs to claim the Commonwealth Games women’s T20 cricket gold medal on Sunday but the real winner was the sport which delivered compelling competition and boosted its case to be included in the Olympics.

Gold medallists Australia celebrate on the podium during the medal ceremony.

India’s lower batting order could not keep up with the pressure and were bowled out for 152 in the final over, with Australians Gardner taking 3-16 and Megan Schutt 2-27. With over 160,000 tickets sold, cricket was one of the Games’ best attended sports and certainly among the most fun as Birmingham, one of Britain’s most diverse cities, turned out in force to support their teams.
