Sylhet: In the Women's Asia Cup, Pakistan beat India by 13 runs in Sylhet on Friday.
Chasing a victory target of 138 runs against Pakistan, India were all out for 124 in 19.4 runs.

With Dar’s help Pakistan managed to score 137-6 and limit the arch-rivals on 124 by sending the whole team back to the pavilion.
India’s Richa Ghosh struck 26 off 13 balls to give Pakistan a scare but once she was dismissed, the match was heading in only one direction.
