India dominated Pakistan in their Women’s Asia Cup Group A encounter on Saturday, securing a commanding seven-wicket victory at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The result saw Pakistan reach an unfortunate milestone, posting their lowest-ever T20 International total of just 55 runs.
After Pakistan elected to bat, their openers provided an initial foundation with a 27-run partnership before India’s spin attack dismantled the innings. The collapse was severe, with Pakistan hemorrhaging six wickets for eight runs across 28 deliveries. Shree Charani led the demolition with figures of three for seven, while Prema Rawat claimed three for nine, and Deepti Sharma took two for five. The performance proved particularly memorable as Harmanpreet Kaur reached her 200th T20 International appearance for India.
Chasing the modest target, India encountered early resistance from Pakistan captain Fatima Sana, whose three-wicket burst reduced them to 29 for three. However, Harmanpreet and Deepti steadied the ship in a controlled partnership, guiding India to victory with 68 balls remaining. Harmanpreet finished unbeaten on 18 while Deepti remained not out on 12. The win consolidated India’s position atop the group with three consecutive victories, while Pakistan must defeat Hong Kong in their final group fixture to advance to the semifinals.
