Charani dismantles Pakistan batting lineup
India navigate early wobble to seal victory
Chasing a modest target of 56, India Women encountered an unexpected hurdle early in their reply. The innings began with a nervous start as the team lost three quick wickets, with the dismissal of Shafali Verma at 13 runs in just 1.3 overs serving as a significant turning point that briefly gave Pakistan hope of a miraculous defense. However, the pressure was quickly neutralized by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who steadied the ship with a composed 18 off 18 balls. Supported by the rest of the lineup, India navigated the remaining runs with relative ease, reaching 57/3 to secure a seven-wicket victory. The win highlights India's depth and composure, even when faced with a sudden collapse in the top order. For Pakistan, the result marks a difficult outing in the tournament, while India continues to build momentum in the Women's Asia Cup T20.
