Captain Harmanpreet Kaur led the charge, scoring an unbeaten 29 from 24 balls


Dubai: In a tense match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, India secured a six-wicket win against Pakistan in the Women's T20 World Cup on Sunday. Chasing 106, India reached 108-4 with seven balls to spare.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur led the charge, scoring an unbeaten 29 from 24 balls. Despite a neck injury scare just before the win, she stayed at the crease, and Sajeevan Sajana hit the winning runs to seal the victory.
India had a strong start at 61-1 but faced a setback when Pakistan captain Fatima Sana took two quick wickets. However, Kaur’s calm performance helped India recover after an earlier loss to New Zealand in Group A.
Pakistan’s Nida Dar top-scored with 28, but the team struggled on a tricky pitch, managing only 105-8 in their 20 overs. Fatima Sana admitted the team fell short of expectations, saying they were "10-15 runs short."
India's bowlers impressed, especially Arundhati Reddy, who took 3-19 and was named Player of the Match. Her disciplined bowling helped keep Pakistan in check, removing key batters Omaima Sohail and Aliya Riaz.
Shafali Verma’s 32 from 35 balls gave India a solid start, and though they lost wickets quickly, Kaur ensured India maintained their dominance over Pakistan in T20Is, now leading the head-to-head 13-3.
India now stands fourth in Group A, and they will play Sri Lanka next. Pakistan faces a tough match against Australia later in the week.
