India and Australia gave women’s cricket a cracking start in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. India were served a rude reminder of how you don’t write off a team that knows how to win from near-impossible situations. In a chase of 155, Australia were down in the dumps inside the powerplay as 34 for 4 soon turned to 49 for 5. From there, India saw their dreams of a giant upset go up in smoke as Grace Harris turned the screws with a stunning assault that left India’s spinners shell-shocked.
