3/7(4)

Short, sweet, ruthless - India have once again made light work of their arch-rivals, Pakistan, extending their stranglehold over them by completely outclassing them across all three departments of the game. They wrap up their league campaign on a high, and attention will now turn to the semi-final on Thursday, 10th September, with the opponent still to be confirmed. Pakistan, on the other hand, have a lot of introspection to do before their next assignment against Hong Kong, China, where they will enter as firm favorites. A win in that fixture is crucial for them to confirm their semi-final berth. Up next, Sri Lanka Women take on Bangladesh Women in a very crucial Group B clash on Sunday, 6th September and the first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 2.30 pm GMT (8 pm IST). Until then, cheers!

The victorious Indian captain - Harmanpreet Kaur is all smiles as she walks up to have a word. Kaur says it was a very important game for them and she is happy with the team's effort. She talks about being ruthless and is pleased with the way they performed. She praises all the bowlers for sticking to their plans and says reading the pitch well was key. Adds that they executed their plans accordingly. Kaur says the wobble with the bat is part of the game, adding that Pakistan also bowled a few good balls. Harman says it is important to keep their standards high and is really happy to see everyone putting their hand up and producing good performances. On reaching 150 T20Is as India's captain, she says she is grateful and never thought she would come this far. She thanks everyone for their support, adding that without it, none of this would have been possible.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Sree Charani receives the award for her exceptional bowling display. She finished with figures reading 3/7 in 4 overs. She begins by saying that it feels great to contribute in the team's win. She details that her focus was simply on bowling to her strengths and to the field set for her, adding that giving the ball more revs is what's been working for her. On how it feels, she stays grounded, saying it felt like just another day at the office, and while it may hold special meaning, she's more focused on contributing further for her country and continuing her good run of form.

The captain of Pakistan Women - Fatima Sana points out their struggles with the bat as the main reason for the defeat. When asked if batting first was the right decision, she says it was a fresh wicket, so they wanted to bat first, put good runs on the board and back their bowling attack. On her spell with the ball, she says it does not matter as they lost the match. Ends by saying that their focus is on trying to play good cricket and qualify for the next round.

... Post-match Presentation ...

Made the occasion more special - Having already sealed their semi-final spot, with the top order doing the heavy lifting time and again, India would have fancied Shafali alone getting the job done here. But they suffered a mini-collapse up top instead, with Mandhana falling cheaply too, while Pratika once again failed to get going. It was fitting that the skipper, leading India for the 150th time, made the occasion even more memorable with a composed, sensible approach. Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma then combined to arrest the slide, steering India home safely without any further hiccups.

Fatima, the fighter - Pakistan may have posted their lowest-ever T20I total, but Fatima Sana still went about breaching India's first wall, striking thrice through the top order to send back Shafali, Pratika and then Smriti. Defending just 55, though, was always going to demand the same fire breathed from the other end too, and that support simply never arrived. With the ball doing its bit for the spinners throughout, one senses that even a total between 100 and 120 would have made this a far more interesting contest.

Flawed at the root - Pakistan's technique itself came under the scanner here, with several batters caught playing across the line and against the turn, and almost every dismissal coming off an attacking shot. Patience was in short supply, with barely anyone willing to simply spend time at the crease. In fact, barring Shawaal Zulfiqar and Muneeba Ali, not a single batter managed to reach double figures. Look at it this way, Pakistan started off steady at 27/0, only to lose all ten wickets in the next 28 runs.

Spinners boss it up - India's spinners ran riot, accounting for 9 Pakistan wickets between them, with Sree Charani topping the charts courtesy of an exceptional three-wicket haul. Her 50th T20I wicket, though, will have to wait a little longer, one that got away on this occasion. India were a touch sloppy in the field early on, with Pratika putting down Muneeba on 6, but the spin quartet of Charani, Deepti, Prema and Shafali more than made up for it, sniffing the wind clean out of Pakistan's sails.

4.48 pm GMT (10.18 pm IST) - One-sided rivalry - India have handed Pakistan one of their heaviest defeats in the shortest format, and in doing so, reaffirmed once again that they remain the gold standard of cricket in the subcontinent, with no side anywhere close to touching them. They have extended their lead to 15-3 versus Pakistan in T20Is, and 7-1 in the Women's T20 Asia Cup alone. They have also ensured that they finish in pole position in Group A.

नशरा संधू To हरमनप्रीत कौर

SIX! That's it. Fittingly, Harmanpreet Kaur hits the winning runs in her 150th T20I as the Indian captain. India win by 7 wickets and round off a spotless group stage campaign. Sundhu tosses it up on middle. Kaur dances down the track and extends her hands into the shot as she launches it back over the bowler's head, clearing the fence with ease.

8.3

नशरा संधू To हरमनप्रीत कौर

FOUR! Just over! India's 50 comes up. Sundhu offers flight, full and on off. Kaur reaches out in front and goes for the lofted hit. She gets it more from the bottom part of the blade as she looks to go over mid on. Fatima Sana does not quite pick it up straight away and back pedals, looking to take the catch over her head with a leap, but it sails over her and goes away for a boundary.

8.2

नशरा संधू To दीप्ति शर्मा

Flat and short, on off, Deepti gets on the back foot and taps it to long on to turn the strike over.

8.1

नशरा संधू To हरमनप्रीत कौर

A bit of air given, fractionally short, on off. Kaur waits back and glides it with an open bat face behind point. The backward point fielder dives to her left but lets it through, conceding a single. 10 more needed for India.

7.4

Short and wide on off, turning away. Deepti frees her arms and spanks it but picks out Fatima Sana at extra cover.

Shorter and on the off pole, Kaur gets on top of the bounce and punches it to cover.

6.5

नशरा संधू To हरमनप्रीत कौर

Spears in a full ball, attacking the front pad. Harman brings her bat out in front to defend.

6.4

नशरा संधू To हरमनप्रीत कौर

From around the wicket for the right-hander, full and in line with the off stump. Kaur gets her hands out in front and plays the paddle down towards deep fine leg. Gets a bit of glove as well, and as a result, the ball does not have the legs to reach the fence. The slip fielder gives chase and hunts it down but cannot prevent the second run from being taken. India need 15 more runs.

6.3

नशरा संधू To दीप्ति शर्मा

Drops it short, it keeps low, on middle. Deepti adjusts as she swivels and pulls it to deep square leg for a single.

6.2

नशरा संधू To दीप्ति शर्मा

Flatter and on a good length, on off. Deepti presses forward initially but then rocks back as she works it to mid-wicket. The fielder dives to her right and parries it behind the bowler. Nashra gets to the ball and cuts down the single.

6.1

नशरा संधू To दीप्ति शर्मा

FOUR! Nicely done. Floated up by Sundhu, on off. Sharma skips down the track and then gets down on a knee. She reaches out in front and clubs it to the left of long on for a boundary.

End of the Powerplay. India would definitely feel that they have lost one too many wickets in a paltry chase of 56. They need 22 runs from 84 balls and Nashra Sundhu has been given the ball now. A slip in place.

Angled in at the sticks, on a length. Kaur is solid in defence. At the end of the Powerplay, India are 34/3, needing 22 more runs.

5.5

फ़ातिमा सना To हरमनप्रीत कौर

A bit of nip back into the right-hander, on a back of a length. Kaur pushes it down the deck. Sana hobbles to her right to try to pick the ball up but eventually lets it go.

Fatima Sana is not looking comfortable out there and she calls the physio. She is clutching her left hip and is down on her haunches. After getting the required treatment, with the magic spray applied, she is back on her feet.

5.4

फ़ातिमा सना To दीप्ति शर्मा

Pushed across the left-hander, on a length. Sharma smears it away to deep mid-wicket for a single.

5.3

फ़ातिमा सना To दीप्ति शर्मा

A loud shout for LBW, but turned down. Scrambled seam ball, on a good length at the sticks. Sharma has a tentative prod at the ball as she plays around her front pad. She just about ekes out an inside edge onto the front pad, the replays indicate.

5.2

फ़ातिमा सना To दीप्ति शर्मा

Fuller and angled away. Sharma has a heave across the line. She does not quite get hold of it but manages to get it over mid-wicket. Two taken.

5.1

फ़ातिमा सना To दीप्ति शर्मा

Seaming away a touch, on a nagging length, at the hips. Sharma rises on her toes and keeps it out on the leg side.

फ़ातिमा सना To स्मृति मंधाना OUT!

OUT! LBW! Sana picks up her third wicket and is cock-a-hoop. She aims the stumps and lands it fuller in length, around middle and leg. Smriti Mandhana is cramped for space as the ball skids on and beats her inside edge to brush the front pad before it hits the back pad. Sana lets out a vociferous appeal and up goes the finger. India Women have slid down to 29/3, needing 27 more runs to win.

3.5

फ़ातिमा सना To स्मृति मंधाना

FOUR! What a beautiful shot! Length-delivery on the leg stump. Smriti Mandhana responds with an elegant pick-up shot. She walks out of the crease and jabs it nicely over mid-wicket for a boundary. One bounce and into the fence.

3.4

फ़ातिमा सना To स्मृति मंधाना

On a fuller length, on off, Smriti Mandhana drives it firmly off the front foot, but straight to the fielder at mid off.

3.3

FOUR! Graceful and confident from Mandhana! Slot-ball from Sadia, there to be put away. Smriti Mandhana gets on the front foot and marvellously lofts it inside out over extra cover for a boundary. India need 32 more runs to win.

2.5

सादिया इक़बाल To स्मृति मंधाना

A bit short, on off, spinning in. Mandhana backs away and knocks it straight to the cover fielder.

2.4

सादिया इक़बाल To स्मृति मंधाना

In-dipping full ball, on middle, Mandhana drives it inside out to short cover.

2.3

Pitched up, on middle, Kaur plays with the spin and clips it gently to widish mid-wicket for a single and gets off the mark.

सादिया इक़बाल To स्मृति मंधाना

Down the leg stump, on a fuller length. Mandhana misses her sweep and the ball clips her front pad and rolls to the short fine leg region. They cross for a leg bye.

फ़ातिमा सना To प्रतीका रावल OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another failure for Pratika in this Asia Cup. Sana lands it on a length, and gets the ball to straighten up from the pitch, outside the off stump. Pratika Rawal stays put and dangles her bat away from her body. Tries to punch it away to the off side but gets a faint nick and Muneeba Ali takes a sharp catch behind the stumps. A confident appeal goes up and up goes the finger as well. India Women are 18/2, chasing 56 runs.

1.5

फ़ातिमा सना To प्रतीका रावल

MISFIELD, FOUR! Casual, very casual from Sadia in the deep. Wide outside off, on a fractionally fuller length. Pratika Rawal throws her hands at it to access the off side. She swings her bat hard and gets a fat outside edge. The ball shoots through the vacant slip cordon and runs towards deep third. Sadia Iqbal ambles to her left but does not bend low enough to stop and pick the ball up. It clips her fingertips and seeps into the fence. Fatima lets her frustration known to the fielder, as that should have been stopped.

1.5

फ़ातिमा सना To प्रतीका रावल

WIDE! Miles down the leg stump, on a length. Rawal misses her flick and the keeper, Muneeba Ali, also fumbles to grab the ball cleanly as it deflects off her gloves and rolls towards first slip fielder.

1.4

फ़ातिमा सना To प्रतीका रावल

Back of a length, outside off, dabbed off the back foot to backward point.

Pratika Rawal is in at number 3.

1.3

फ़ातिमा सना To शफ़ाली वर्मा OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Sana strikes and gives a bit of a send-off to Shafali, who looked in an attacking mood. On a back of a length, on middle, nipping in slightly. Shafali Verma hangs back and looks to turn it across into the leg side, but the ball certainly holds onto the surface and arrives at an awkward height. Lobs off the leading edge and Fatima takes a simple return catch. India Women are 13/1, needing 43 more runs to win.

1.2

फ़ातिमा सना To शफ़ाली वर्मा

FOUR! Up and over! Absolutely smacked! Outside off, on a shorter length, Shafali Verma stays leg side of the ball, transfers her weight onto the back foot and hammers it over extra cover for a cracking boundary.

1.1

फ़ातिमा सना To शफ़ाली वर्मा

Short of a length, outside off, Shafali Verma hangs back and punches it towards cover, but fails to pierce the gap.

Fatima Sana will steam in from the other end.

Full and onto the pads, Shafali Verma clips it behind mid-wicket for a single.

सादिया इक़बाल To स्मृति मंधाना

Full and around off, Smriti creams it between extra cover and mid off for a quick single.

0.3

सादिया इक़बाल To स्मृति मंधाना

Massive appeal for caught behind, but turned down by the umpire. Goes straight on with the arm, on a length. Smriti Mandhana has a lazy attempt at the cut shot and is beaten on the outside edge. Mandhana was beginning to walk off, but then spotted the umpire not raising her finger and stopped in her tracks.

0.2

सादिया इक़बाल To शफ़ाली वर्मा

3000 T20I runs for Shafali Verma! Only second to Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur. Full and drifting into the batter, Shafali Verma effortlessly clips it through wide mid-wicket for a single.

0.1

सादिया इक़बाल To शफ़ाली वर्मा

SIX! Outrageous and audacious from Shafali to get the chase underway. Full into the slot from Iqbal, on off, Shafali Verma plants the front foot forward and launches it cleanly over long off for a cracking six.
