Indian Bowlers Shine Bright

Pakistan captain Fatima Sana won the toss and elected to bat first, a decision that quickly backfired. The Indian spin attack, led by the exceptional Shree Charani and Prema Rawat, triggered a dramatic collapse in the Pakistani batting line-up. Opener Muneeba Ali (13) and Shawaal Zulfiqar (14) provided a brief resistance, but once Shafali Verma claimed the first breakthrough, the wickets tumbled rapidly. Pakistan was ultimately bowled out for a meagre 55 runs in just 18.1 overs, marking their lowest-ever total in Women's T20 International history.

Shree Charani and Prema Rawat were the stars with the ball, both bagging three wickets each to dismantle the Pakistani batting order. Shree Charani ended with figures of 3/7, while Prema Rawat finished with 3/9. Deepti Sharma provided crucial support with two wickets for 5 runs, while Shafali Verma also contributed with one scalp for 10 runs. The disciplined bowling effort ensured Pakistan never found their footing in the innings, conceding only 27 runs for the loss of their first wicket before the collapse ensued. ‘Hum to Dubai Ghumne Aaye Hain’, Fans React As Pakistan Suffer Batting Failure in IND vs PAK Women’s Asia Cup 2026.

India's Confident Chase

Chasing a modest target of 56, India's innings began with an aggressive intent from Shafali Verma, who started with a first-ball six. However, Pakistan's captain, Fatima Sana, provided a glimmer of hope for her side by picking up three quick wickets, dismissing Pratika Rawal, Shafali Verma, and Smriti Mandhana cheaply. India found themselves at 29/3 at one point, but captain Harmanpreet Kaur (18 not out) and the experienced all-rounder Deepti Sharma (12 not out) steadied the ship. They displayed composure and ensured no further mishaps, guiding India to victory with 68 balls to spare. Fatima Sana was the only wicket-taker for Pakistan.
