Match number 10 of the Women’s Cricket Competition at the Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022 will see Indian Women lock horns with Barbados Women in their final group fixture at Edgbaston, Birmingham. This is a must-win encounter for both sides and a victory will not only guarantee a semifinal berth but will also help them in inching closer to a medal.
After a heartbreaking three-wicket defeat at the hands of the reigning world champions Australia, a spirited Indian team put up a spectacular comeback in their second game against arch-rivals Pakistan with an emphatic eight-wicket win. Chasing 100 from 18 overs in a rain-curtailed encounter, the Women in Blue successfully got the job done in just the 12th over riding on star opener Smriti Mandhana’s brilliance. With two points from two matches, India have a superior net run rate of +1.165 and are placed at the second position in the points table.
Barbados, on the other hand, completely lost the plot after their impressive 15-run win over Pakistan in the tournament opener after which they went down to the Aussies by nine wickets. They have a negative NRR of -1.794 despite having two points to their tally.

Probable best batter
Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana has finally managed to rediscover her rhythm on the 22 yards. While she got out after getting set against Australia, Mandhana was the star of the match against Pakistan where she scored an unbeaten 63 runs off 42 deliveries at a strike rate of exactly 150 and also hit the winning four for the Women in Blue. She would once again be expected to come good in this must-win encounter.
Probable best bowler
Renuka Singh
All eyes will be on India women’s emerging pace sensation Renuka Singh Thakur who has been on a roll with the ball in hand in the ongoing CWG 2022. While she picked up a four-wicket haul against the Aussies in the curtain-raiser, she finished with figures of 1/20 from her four overs against Pakistan at an economy of five including a maiden. The pace sensation would be hoping to showcase yet another impactful performance against Barbados.
