Inn Break
Right then, that's all we have from this game, where India triumphed over their arch-rivals Pakistan to secure their first win in the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. This victory has lifted them off the bottom of the group, improving their net run rate from -2.9 to -1.217, while Pakistan remain in third place for now. But the excitement isn’t over yet on this Super Sunday. The 2016 champions, West Indies, are gearing up to face the tournament debutants, Scotland, right here in Dubai. Both teams are in search of their first points of the tournament, and that match is set to commence shortly. Our build-up has already begun for that game. Switch tabs and catch all the action. See you there. Cheers!
Smriti Mandhana is in for a chat, standing in for Harmanpreet Kaur. She says it's too soon to give an update on Harmanpreet's injury, but hopes she is fine. Adds that as a bowling unit, they followed the plans but could have done better with the bat. Talks about the net run rate and says they remained calculative considering that it was tough to time the ball. Concludes that they look forward to the next games and this win gives them momentum.
The captain of Pakistan Women, Fatima Sana Khan says they weren’t up to the mark with the bat. Admits they were around 10-15 runs short and she hopes they can bounce back in the next game. Ends by saying she enjoyed playing against India.
Arundhati Reddy is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for her 3 wickets. She says she has been bowling with the new ball and knew she would have to bowl a couple of overs upfront and it came good. Adds that it was hot but she is used to these kinds of conditions and she was focussing on keeping it simple and attacking the stumps with the variation in pace.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
Earlier, after opting to bat first, Pakistan struggled to find any rhythm in their innings. They failed to form meaningful partnerships, losing wickets at regular intervals. The inability to rotate strike compounded the pressure from dot balls, and when the batters attempted to break free with big shots, they ended up losing their wickets. At one stage, it seemed as though Pakistan would fall short of even reaching 100, but a valuable 28-run stand between Nida Dar and Syeda Aroob Shah ensured they managed to scrape together a total of 105. It was a collective bowling effort for India but Arundhati Reddy stood out with 3 wickets while Shreyanka Patil had two wickets to her name.
Many expected India to adopt an aggressive approach in the Powerplay, aiming to chase down the target quickly and improve their net run rate. However, they opted for a more cautious, safety-first approach. With only 105 on the board, Pakistan's bowlers were tasked with bailing the team out once again, just as they had done against Sri Lanka. Fatima Sana Khan and Co. gave a good account of themselves, not conceding even a single boundary in the Powerplay. India's cautious approach kept Pakistan in the game, and when Fatima struck twice in two balls, her side's belief grew stronger. However, Harmanpreet Kaur's composed presence at the crease helped calm the nerves in the Indian dressing room. With just 2 runs needed, Kaur hurt her neck while attempting to drag herself back into the crease and walked off. Sajana Sajeevan then came in and finished the game with 7 balls to spare.
India huff and puff their way to the first points of the World Cup! After the heavy defeat against New Zealand, Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. will be relieved to get on the board, though there will be questions asked about whether they could have pressed harder to improve their net run rate. Credit to Pakistan for dragging the game into the penultimate over. By doing so, they not only made India work for the win but also ensured that their net run rate didn't take a significant hit.

Nida Dar To Sajana Sajeevan
FOUR! Sajana Sajeevan comes in and finishes things off straightaway! India Women win by 6 wickets! Nida Dar flights it up, on off, Sajana Sajeevan lofts it just over mid off. The fielder from mid off turns back and gives it a good chase but the ball has enough legs to beat her effort in the deep.
Sajana Sajeevan walks out to bat, replacing Harmanpreet Kaur.
Oh, what happened there? Harmanpreet Kaur seems to have hurt herself and the physio is out. Looks to have tweaked something in her neck. Kaur will be unable to continue and is walking off with the physio.

Drinks break! With 56 runs needed from 60 balls, India Women have taken a measured approach in their chase, opting for caution over aggression, choosing not to push too hard in an attempt to boost their net run rate. On the other hand, Pakistan Women have done a commendable job of keeping things tight, while being sharp in the field to keep the pressure on. A couple of quick wickets could open up the door for Pakistan and they will be hoping for just that. It will be interesting to see the approach after the break of Shafali Verma, in particular, if she changes gears and helps India knock off the remaining runs quickly.

Sadia Iqbal To Smriti Mandhana
Pushed across the batter, full in length, Smriti Mandhana goes for the drive away from her body and gets an outside edge that goes past short third. The ball does not have enough legs to reach the fence as the fielder mops it up. The umpire standing at the bowling end is asked to wait as the third umpire checks for a short run but both batters are fine on that count. Two runs taken.

Fatima Sana Khan To Shafali Verma
Given LBW but successfully overturned by Shafali Verma! Sana gets the ball to swing back into the right-hander. With the keeper up to the stumps, Shafali Verma is made to stay in her crease. She tries to work it away off her pads and gets beaten on the inside edge. Wears it on the front pad and up goes the finger. Shafali Verma reviews it immediately. Did she get some bat on it? Or does she think it is going down leg? The front-on replays show a clear gap between the bat and the pad. The Ball Tracking shows the ball to be doing a bit too much and going down leg.
