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.
