Rookie pacer Titas Sadhu`s heroics earned Indian women`s cricket team its maiden Asian Games gold as it defeated Sri Lanka by 19 runs in a low-scoring final on Monday. On a pitch difficult for batting, the Indian women`s team struggled to 116 for seven but it was just about par score.
However, Titas bowled a devastating first spell and finished with superb figures of 4-1-6-3 to play a big role in restricting Sri Lanka to 97 for eight in 20 overs. She had an able ally in leg-spinner Devika Vaidya (4-0-15-1), who kept a tight leash on the islanders.
