Women’s Asia Cup: India crush Pakistan by 7 wickets

Srinagar: Continuing its dominance, Indian womens cricket team outplayed Pakistam womens team by seven wickets in the match of Women’s Asia Cup 2024 at the Dambulla International Stadium on Friday.

India chased down the 109-run target in just 14.1 overs without much troubles.

Shafali Verma (40 off 29) and Smriti Mandhana (45 off 31) put India on top as the two combined for 85 runs before the latter was dismissed by Aroob Shah.

After losing the openers — both removed by Aroob — and Dayalan Hemalatha (14 off 11), skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues came to bat and completed the job for the team.

Opting to bat first, Pakistan didn’t have a great start as they had lost both of their openers — Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali — after posting just five and 11 runs respectively, leaving their team at 26-2 in 3.5 overs.

Sidra Amin played valiantly but she got no support from the other hand as skipper Nida Dar (8 off 11) and Aliya Riaz (6 off 11) failed to contributed any valuable runs.

After scoring 22 runs on 35 balls, Amin lost her wicket after which Tuba Hassan took charge of Pakistan’s innings and played a quick 22-run knock on 19 balls with three boundaries.

Pakistan got all out for 108 runs in 19.2 overs.

For India, Deepti Sharma picked three while Renuka Singh, Pooja Vastrakar and Shreyanka Patil bagged two wickets each.
