India beat Pakistan by seven wickets in Women’s T20 Asia Cup

India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the Women’s T20 Asia Cup in Dubai on Saturday, chasing down a modest target of 56 in just 8. 4 overs. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first but struggled against India’s bowling attack. Shawaal Zulfiqar top-scored with 14 while Muneeba Ali made 13, but the remaining batters could add only 28 runs collectively as Pakistan were bowled out for 55 in 18. 1 overs. The total was Pakistan Women’s lowest in T20 international cricket. India’s Shree Charani and Prema Rawat took three wickets each to dismantle the Pakistani batting lineup. Chasing 56, India also lost three early wickets, all claimed by Pakistan captain Fatima Sana. However, Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma steadied the innings and guided India to victory. Harmanpreet remained unbeaten on 18, while Deepti also stayed at the crease as India reached 56 for three in 8. 4 overs. The victory gave India their third consecutive win in Group A and kept them at the top of the standings with six points. India had already secured wins over Thailand and Hong Kong in the tournament.
