Yastika Bhatia and Shafali Verma, who scored 17 runs and 27 runs, respectively, are to be credited for the Women in Blue’s explosive opening start against Pakistan, which saw them amass 149 runs.
Jemmimah Rodriques, who is now in the game and has scored 54 runs in 7.2 overs with the loss of just one wicket, joined them in the middle.
Harman Preet Kaur, Richa Ghosh, Harleen Deol, and Deepti Sharma are other batters who will be counted on to perform miracles with the bat.
The slow and sluggish pitch will make it difficult for Indian women hitters to chase them.
Till the time I am writing this, India has scored 64 runs at the loss of 1 wicket in 9 overs they are currently chasing runs at neck to neck run rate required.
They would need 7.73 run rate per over and for that other batters need to find attacking instinct only then they can chase this target down.
Interesting stage of the match here at Newlands. Pakistan have put on a very competitive total….which team will walk away with the points? #INDvsPAK pic.twitter.com/Kolzei0EQ0

Talking about the past track record between these two teams, India have an edge over the arch-rivals Pakistan where they won 4 matches out of 6 encounters.
Goosebumps 🏏🫡🇮🇳#Webelieveinblue #INDvsPAK
