INDW Win By 64 Runs | India vs Pakistan, Highlights, ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026: Deepti Sharma's Fifer Helps Harmanpreet Kaur and Co Beat PAKW

INDW Win By 64 runs. A massive victory for India Women, that too against arch-rivals Pakistan Women. Deepti Sharma starred for India with the ball, clinching a five-wicket haul, while also crossing the 350 T20I wicket-mark in international cricket. Apart from Muneeba Ali, who scored 41, no other Pakistan batter managed to get a look-in in their chase of 171. 

Pakistan women have just collapsed like nine-pins, and find themselves further away from the finish line. Aliya Riaz and Rameen Shamim will have to play out of their socks to pull off this chase within six overs. 

OUT! A massive wicket for India, and Shafali Verma dismisses Pakistan captain Fatima Sana, who falls without disturbing the scoreboard. Sana went for the expansive drive but failed to connect the ball, only to hand Smriti Mandhana a simple catch at covers.

OUT! A lucky break for India women, and the well-set Muneeba Ali has to walk back to the pavilion. An attempt to run a quick-single fails, as a bullet-like throw from Deepti Sharma onto the striker's end from backward point brings an end to Ali's stay in the middle. 

OUT! A cross-batted shot and Saira Jabeen's stay has been cut-short by Shree Charani. Into her first -over Charani produces a wicket for India women. A leading-edge off the bat went straight into the hands of Harmanpreet Kaur. 

Deepti Sharma has managed to pull things back for India, who were in desperate need of a wicket at the end of powerplay. Ayesha Zafar started well, but perished trying to sweep Sharma. A mistimed shot went straight into the hands of Smriti Mandhana. Muneeba Ali is joined by Saira Jabeen in the middle, with latter batting on 29 off 26.

OUT! Deepti Sharma into the attack, and produces a wicket in her first over, dismissing Gull Feroza. Feroza socred 12 off 9, before taking on Sharma with a sweep shot, which went straight to the fielder. 

This is a solid start for Pakistan, with the boundaries flowing off the bat of Muneeba Ali, who has slammed three fours already. Kranti Gaud has failed to find her line and length, which sees the Pakistan batters score easy runs. 

Pakistan will hope their opener Muneeba Ali and Gull Feroza start well, given the target. This is not an easy pitch, but once set, the runs will flow of the bat. India will hope to keep picking wickets at regular intervals. 

As expected Richa Ghosh came to the party for India, and managed to score 34 off 17, while Deepti Sharma contributed with a nine-ball 12. With field restrictions in the final two overs, Ghosh capitalised on the extra fielder inside the ring. India in WT20 WCs have never lost a game when they have scored above 130. For Pakistan, Fatima Sana was the stand-out player, taking two wickets and picking one catch in the out-field. 

OUT! Fatima Sana is on a roll, after a catch to dismiss Smriti Mandhana, the Pakistan captain manages to remove her counterpart Harmanpreet Kaur. Kaur went to for the flick over deep on the on-side, but holed out to the stationed fielder. Pakistan have managed to find their way back into the contest. 

OUT! Sadia Iqbal gets her second wicket as India's experiment with Bharti Fulmali has failed. Fulmali went to the big heave but got deceived in flight, and found herself stumped. 

OUT! Not third time lucky, as Fatima Sana takes a splendid catch to end Smriti Mandhana's innings. Mandhana was looking to take away the match from Pakistan's grasp, but tight bowling from Rameen Shamim sees the back of India's vc.

100! India women have gone past the 100-run mark, with both Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana adding 83 runs for the third wicket. Both batters have made their intent clear, taking on the bowling in the last over with 19 runs. Mandhana was lucky to be dropped on 55. 

50! Smriti Mandhana has managed to bring up her 34 T20I half-century in as many balls, which include seven fours and one solitary six. This is Mandhana's fifth fifty in WT20 WCs for India. 

India's most dependable batters have come to the party for their side, as Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur have managed to rebuild the innings to perfection. Both have added 47 runs for the third wicket, and have managed to push Pakistan away from taking control. 

This has a good start for Pakistan Women, who have managed to pick two wickets, and make Indian batter work hard for the runs. India, on the other hands, are trying to come out of a ditch, given the start. Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur have started the rebuilding phase for India women, with the latter contributing 25 off the 38.

OUT! India are in trouble as second batter Jemimah Rodrigues falls for 1. Rodrigues went for the big shot off Tasmia Rubab, but perished as Natalia Pervaiz manages to grab onto the ball after a fumble at cover. 

This has been quite a cautious start by Indian batter, ever since the fall of Shafali Verma in the first over. Jemimah Rodrigues looked nervy in the middle, while Smriti Mandhana has managed to find her groove with couple of fours. This is a solid start by Pakistan led by Fatima Sana and Sadi Iqbal. 

OUT! Sadia Iqbal has the final laugh against Shafali Verma, who falls after starting off with a maxium. Iqbal, who is one od the best T20I bowlers in the circuit, shortened the lenght, which saw Verma try to cut, but managed an outside-edge to the keeper.
