Overview
- India bowled Pakistan out for 55 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, which was Pakistan’s lowest Women’s T20I total.
- Spinners were decisive as Shree Charani and Prema Rawat took three wickets each and Deepti Sharma added two to claim all 10 Pakistan wickets.
- India chased 56 in 8.4 overs to complete a seven-wicket win while captain Harmanpreet Kaur marked her 150th T20I as captain.
- Fatima Sana was Pakistan’s standout in the match with 3/17 in India’s chase, but Pakistan now face a must-win Group A game against Hong Kong to reach the semi-finals.
- The result highlights how slow Dubai surfaces have favoured spin this tournament and reinforces India’s regional dominance after big wins over Thailand and Hong Kong and Smriti Mandhana’s recent run-scoring records.
