India pacer Renuka Singh’s dream spell did not prove to be good enough as Australia came back from the brink to pull off a three-wicket win in the Commonwealth Games Group ‘A’ opener here on Friday.
The target of 155 should have been a straightforward chase but Renuka, playing only her seventh T20, broke the backbone of Australian batting with figures of four for 18 in four overs.
