This is the Indian women's cricket team's third defeat in a big final in the last five years, and will hurt them as badly as the loss in the final of the 2017 ODI World Cup to England at Lord's.
Just like on that occasion, India choked at the sight of victory, suffering a terrible collapse that saw them lose eight wickets for 34 in 30 balls to go down to Australia by 9 runs in a thrilling, edge-of-the-seat gold-medal match of the women's T20 competition.
