India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup: Women in Blue won classical encounter by seven wickets against arch rivals Pakistan

Arch rivals India and Pakistan squared up against one another in a customary contest.

By scoring 149 runs on the sluggish pitch while losing only four wickets, Pakistan significantly improved its position.

Women in Blue immediately pursued the objective as India knocked, going straight down the line.

Captain Bismah Maroof deserves all the credit for the team’s 149 runs against India, which she accomplished with the help of Ayehsa Naseem and her own 68 runs.

If India wants to go far in this competition, they need to quickly make up for their poor ball handling.

The game was tense at one point, but Jemimah Rodriques and Richa Ghosh deserve praise for making sure India chased down the ball with 7 wickets in hand, the goal.

In order to make sure that India’s batter was up to the task from the first ball, Yastika Bhatia and Shafali Verma formed a strong partnership at the top.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the team’s captain, struggled to make significant runs with the bat, but she must regain her mojo to win every game in this season.

The World Cup is very significant for Women in Blue.

Along with England and Australia, who were considered favourites to win the T20 World Cup, India is one of the favourites to win this prestigious competition.

Australia has won the T20 World Cup four times, making them the undisputed champs. This time around, they are anticipated to repeat as champions.
