Indian Women's cricket qualified for the semifinals of the Commonwealth Games 2022 on Thursday after beating Barbados Women in a do-or-die clash.

Having faced defeat against the Aussie side earlier, the Indian eves responded in style as they trounced Pakistan in their previous fixture by 8 wickets to set up a do-or-die clash with Barbados Women.
Harmanpreet Kaur's team was invited to bat first, and they scored a fight-worthy total of 62 for 4 on in Edgbaston, thanks to opener Shafali Verma's 43-run knock in 26 balls, followed by a strong finish from Jemimah Rodrigues who remained unbeaten at 56 from 46 deliveries.
In reply, the Barbados Women could muster up just 62 runs at the loss of wickets in their respective 20 overs, courtesy of Medium pacer Renuka Singh's four-wicket haul.
A fantastic victory for #TeamIndia.
