Chasing 248, Pakistan’s innings quickly fell apart. A top-order collapse left them reeling at 26 for 3 inside the eighth over, placing immense pressure on the middle order. Sidra Amin stood out with a valiant 106-ball 81, supported by Natalia Pervaiz’s 33, but the rest of the lineup failed to capitalise. India’s bowlers applied relentless pressure throughout. Kranti Goud claimed 3/20 and Deepti Sharma 3/45, while Shree Charani’s 2/38 ensured Pakistan couldn’t recover.
The result highlights India’s balanced performance, combining crucial partnerships, disciplined bowling, and effective fielding to dominate their arch-rivals. The 88-run victory also boosts India’s position in the points table, consolidating their status as strong contenders in the tournament.
