IND-W v UAE-W, Women's Asia Cup Highlights
UAE were brilliant for the first 5 overs or so but later on, they had no answers to the hitting by the two Indian batters! The ground fielding was also not at its best after that as there were far too many misfields. The bowlers also succumbed under pressure as there were far too many boundary balls. UAE will not be pleased with how thiungs have ended. They have a huge task in hand now and will need a miracle to win from here. India should defend this. Chase in a bit.
That is a brilliant recovery from India and that stand between Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues has probably taken the game away from UAE. Let me remind you, India were 19 for 3 but from then on, it was all about the Indians. Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues took the attack to the bowlers and really scored freely. Both got up half tons and added over 100. Sharma fell towards the end but Jemimah Rodrigues remained unbeaten. Kiran Navgire and Pooja Vastrakar also played handy cameos to take India up to a very good total.

A single as this is pushed down to long on.
Run out chance but not taken! Kiran Navgire was a goner! Shorter and outside off, Kiran Navgire looks to cut but it goes off the underedge towards short fine leg. Jemimah Rodrigues wants one but Kiran is very late to take off. The keeper has a shy at the bowler's end but misses.
FOUR! Up and over! Kiran Navgire comes down the track, she lifts it over mid off for a boundary. Clever shot.

OUT! TAKEN! That is an outstanding catch! Sharma steps out, she makes it into a full toss and hits it really well towards long on. The fielder there moves to her left, takes it just before the ropes and also keeps her balance brilliantly.
The reverse sweep comes out, it is a little too full, it goes off the underedge towards backward point for one.
