Unchanged Pakistan choose to bat against unchanged India
Harmanpreet Kaur is captaining India for the 150th time in T20Is
India secured a narrow seven-wicket victory over Pakistan in a Women's Asia Cup T20I match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. The match was characterized by its low scoring, with India achieving their target of 56 runs in just 8.4 overs. Despite Pakistan's initial promise, their batting collapse left them defeated.
Pakistan's openers Muneeba Ali and Shawaal Zulfiqar managed to put on 27 runs, but once the partnership was broken, the team's downfall was swift. Muneeba was dismissed for 13, and Zulfiqar was trapped lbw for 14. India's bowlers dominated, with Shree Charani and Prema Rawat taking crucial wickets. Charani's excellent spell of 3/7 and Rawat's 3/9 were instrumental in India's success.
Pakistan's batting innings was a far cry from their previous low of 56, set against New Zealand in Dubai in 2024. India's skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, remained unbeaten on 18 as the team maintained a clean slate in the group stage.
