  "account": "Dubai, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Pakistan suffered its lowest-ever score in a Twenty20 international cricket match as India dismissed them for just 55 runs at the Women's Asia Cup on Saturday. The clash between the two arch-rivals saw no handshakes between the players. India secured a seven-wicket victory with 68 balls still in play.\n\nOnly opening batters Shawaal Zulfiqar (14) and Muneeba Ali (13) reached double figures for Pakistan before they were all out in 18.1 overs. Spinners Shree Charani (3-7), Prema Rawat (3-9) and Deepti Sharma (2-5) were the key figures for India. Captain Fatima Sana led Pakistan's innings, choosing to bat first.\n\nPakistan's collapse from 27-0 to 35-6 was swift and devastating. Spinners Shree Charani, Prema Rawat, and Deepti Sharma were instrumental in India's victory. India's total of 57-3 in 8.4 overs marked their third consecutive win in the Group A game.\n\nPakistan still has one more match against Hong Kong to potentially advance.",
