Pakistan women made a strong comeback after their horrible one-wicket loss to Thailand in their previous match. For the first time in six years, Women in Green defeated India in the shortest format of the game. Pakistan put on 137/6 on the scoreboard before sending Harmanpreet Kaur’s women back to the pavilion on 124, winning the match by 13 runs on Friday, October 7 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof won the toss and batted first. Nida Dar was the star batter with a half-century knock of 56* runs off 37 balls.
Despite a decent start, India kept losing wickets in the middle-overs. Sabbhineni Meghana and Smriti Mandhana opened India’s innings and both of them scored 15 and 17 runs respectively. Jemimah Rodrigues could add only runs, while Dayalan Hemalatha scored 20 runs off 22 balls with three sixes.
Deepti Sharma scalped three wickets when Pakistan was batting, but with her bat, she could add only 16 runs off 11 balls with three sixes. Skipper Harmanpreet contributed 12 runs off 12 balls, Richa Ghosh was the top-scorer with her knock of 26 runs off 13 balls with four and three sixes. These runs weren’t enough to win and finally, they lost the only wicket they had in the form of Rajeshwari Gayakwad and lost the match by 13 runs.
Nashra Sandhu picked up three wickets in her four overs and conceded 30 runs. She was the one to break India’s back by dismissing the two openers. Nida Dar picked up two wickets and gave away two runs in her complete overs, while Sadia Iqbal also took two wickets, giving 24 runs in her full overs. Aiman Anwar and Tuba Hassan got one wicket each.
