- 21:43 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: India win by 7 wickets!!!India have defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets in their opening game of the Women's Asia Cup T20. Pakistan were never really in the game, be it in the first innings or the second. India kept things tight from the beginning and eventually managed to win the contest easily.
- 21:29 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: OUT!It's such a disappointing end to Shafali Verma's superb knock. She has been cleaned up by Syeda Aroob Shah. Shafali danced down the track but missed the flipper delivery completely and that cleaned her up. Shafali departed for 40 off 29.INDW 100/2 (11.4)
- 21:19 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: OUT!Smriti Mandhana is out! The wicket comes too late for Pakistan as India are on the verge of victory. They need only 24 to win off 63 balls. Mandhana danced down the track on the Syeda Aroob Shah delivery and hit the ball right into the hands of Aliya Riaz at mid-wicket.INDW 85/1 (9.3)
- 21:11 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: Mandhana changes gearsThe Indian openers seem to be in a hurry to finish this game. Shafali Verma was firing in all cylinders and now Smriti Mandhana has also started to attack the Pakistan bowlers. The southpaw slammed Tuba Hassan for five fours in the over.INDW 79/0 (8)
- 20:46 (IST)
- 20:31 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: Pakistan all out for 108!Shreyanka Patil has cleaned up Sadia Iqbal and that is the end of the Pakistan innings. They have been bundled out for 108 runs. This is a below-par total for sure, but if they could start well in bowling, they could keep themselves in the game.PAKW 108 (19.2)
- 20:20 (IST)
- 20:00 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: Renuka returns 2 for 14Renuka Thakur Singh has struck twice in two balls.

She returned figures of 2 for 14.PAKW 61/6 (13)
- 19:49 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: A big mistakeSidra Ameen nudged the ball down to mid-on and ran for a quick single. She was denied the run by Nida Dar, but by then, Ameen was already halfway down the line. A run-out chance was missed as the player at mid-on failed to pick the ball cleanly in the first attempt, giving enough time to Ameen to return to her crease.PAKW 57/3 (11)
- 19:24 (IST)India vs Pakistan Live: Tight bowling from IndiaWhile Pooja Vastrakar has picked the two wickets that have fallen so far, Renuka Thakur Singh has also gone a good job to keep Pakistan's scoring rate under control. She has given only 13 runs in the three overs she bowled inside powerplay.PAKW 27/2 (5)
- 19:09 (IST)India vs Pakistan Live: OUT!There is the first wicket for India! Pooja Vastrakar has claimed a wicket on the fourth ball of this innings.

- 18:56 (IST)India vs Pakistan Live: Pitch report -"There was good bounce and pace for the seamers and it held up a little for the spinners in the earlier game. You gotta take wind into consideration which might play a crucial role. 65 metres all the around the ground," said ex-Irish cricketer Isobel Joyce.
- 18:41 (IST)India vs Pakistan Live: Here are the playing XIs -India Women: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Dayalan Hemalatha, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Richa Ghosh(w), Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Radha Yadav, Shreyanka Patil, Renuka Thakur SinghPakistan Women: Sidra Ameen, Gull Feroza, Muneeba Ali(w), Nida Dar(c), Aliya Riaz, Iram Javed, Fatima Sana, Tuba Hassan, Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, Syeda Aroob Shah
- 18:40 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: 3 changes for India"For us anything was okay because the conditions are gonna be the same for the 40 overs. Every game is important for us and we want to get into rhythm from the first game. We have made 3 changes from the last T20I we played against South Africa," said India captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
- 18:40 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: Here is what Nida Dar said -"We will bat first, looks like a dry wicket. We have practiced and trained a lot in Karachi and we are well prepared for this contest. It is a great opportunity ahead of the T20 World Cup. We have a good combination and bowlers and batters and hoping for a good game," said Pakistan captain Nida Dar after the toss.
- 18:28 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: Eyes also on Nida DarThe Pakistan skipper brings experience and versatility to the bowling attack through her crafty off-spin bowling. This year, Nida became the highest wicket-taker in women's T20Is during Pakistan's second game against England in Northampton. Her sharp off-spin deliveries and power-hitting abilities make her a true all-rounder for Pakistan, something that India has experienced in the past during their last Asia Cup meeting in Sylhet.
- 18:11 (IST)IND vs PAK Live: Smriti among players to watch out forThe India vice-captain comes into the tournament on the back of a scintillating performance across formats in the recent home series against South Africa. Scores of 117, 136 and 90 in India’s 3-0 ODI sweep at Bengaluru fetched her Player of the Series Award. It was followed by the left-handed opener making 149 in the lone Test and scores of 46 and 54 not out in the two T20Is at Chennai. With Shafali Verma in good form too, expect Smriti to bat for long and take India to a winning position.
- 18:08 (IST)India vs Pakistan Live: Head-to-headIndia come in as the defending champions and have won the tournament seven times. They also have an 11-3 lead over Pakistan in women’s T20I meetings. On the other hand, Pakistan enter the event after an inconsistent run of results in their bilateral commitments but have the confidence to upstage India, as they did in the 2022 edition of the tournament at Sylhet in Bangladesh.
