Vancouver: Defending champions Japan beat Cameroon 2-1 in the Women’s World Cup.

Aya Sameshima scored for Japan just six minutes into the game. Yuika Sugasawa made it 2-0 10 minutes later on Friday, reports.

The African girls refused to give up the game, and their tenacious efforts paid off when Ajara Nchout grabbed a consolation goal in the 91st minute.

Cameroon, who had swept Ecuador 6-0 in its first Group C match last Monday, will meet Switzerland next Tuesday when Japan is to play against Ecuador.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs.
