CWG 2022 Spotlight: Renuka Thakur, Match Analysis and Fantasy XI

The 10th match of CWG 2022 will be played at Edgbaston on 3rd August, 10:30 PM

IND-W in the first CWG 2022 game 

The battle between India and Barbados will be the one to watch out for. Both the teams are coming into the series with one win and one loss.  Meaning the match will be a do-or-die for the two teams. 

Pacer Pooja Vastrakar is making a comeback in the Indian squad after missing out on the first two games. Creating a much needed foundation in the bowling lineup. Considering that Barbados women are coming on strong in the batting department, Vastrakar's return is a good sign for India. 

Spotlight: Renuka Thakur 

The stunning new-comer, Renuka Thakur has been phenomenal with the ball. Displaying her brilliance with deadly in-swingers and accurate landing. She scalped her best bowling figure (4/18) in T20Is in the first CWG 2022 match against Australia. 

Her spell included a brilliant unplayable inswinger to Tahlia McGrath, the Indian bowling lineup rested on Thakur's back. But alas, her efforts went into vain as India ended up losing the game.
