India vs Pakistan, Women's World Cup 2022, Highlights: India won their opening encounter of the 2022 Women's World Cup against Pakistan by 107 runs at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui to start the tournament with a bang.

Jhulan Goswami and Sneh Rana claimed two wickets each while Rajeshwari Gayakwad proved to be the most lethal bowler with four in her quota of 10 overs. (SCORECARD )
Earlier, India batters recovered well to post 244/7 in 50 overs. Smriti Mandhana, Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar scored half-centuries each to propel the innings total past the 240-run mark.
