CWG 2022, Day 5 blog: Historic lawn bowls gold for Indian women
India started brilliantly to go into a 8-2 lead after End 7 but South Africa got on a roll from there on to score 8 unanswered points. The match went back-and-forth from there but the biggest turning point came in 14th End when India won three points.
Read up on the rules of lawn bowling and after watching some videos, I must confess it is actually quite interestinghttps://t.co/q7oStVuQFz
