Indian women defeat Australia in cricket final to win Gold at Blind Sports World Games

Indian women’s blind cricket defeated Australia in the finals to win the gold medal at the International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) World Games 2023.

India bowlers came up with a fine spell to restrict Australia at 114/8 with a fine spell in the allotted 20 overs and then chased down the revised target of 42 in less than four overs of the rain-curtailed match played at Birmingham in England.

The Indian women came up with an extraordinary performance at the World Games as they won all their league games in the tournament. Blind cricket in IBSA World Games made its debut last week with England and Australia playing the first match.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Indian women’s blind cricket team for winning the Gold at the IBSA World Games.

“Kudos to the Indian women’s blind cricket team for winning the Gold at the IBSA World Games! A monumental achievement that exemplifies the indomitable spirit and talent of our sportswomen. India beams with pride!” the Prime Minister posted on X (formerly Twitter).
