1. Women's Asia Cup 2005/06, December 30, 2005, Karachi
An epic 223-run partnership between opening batter Jaya Sharma (138, 150b; 15x4) and Anjum Chopra (86, 112b; 7x4, 1x6) saw India set a target of 289/2 for Pakistan, in the sides' first ever tie against each other.
In reply, Pakistan could never get going, ultimately capitulating to merely 96 in 41.4 overs. Neetu David was the star bowler, dismissing top-scorer Tasqeen Qadeer, and trapping lower-order batters Maryam Butt and Qanita Jalil in front of the wicket. Nooshin Al Khadeer contributed with two wickets at a mind-boggling economy rate of 0.7. She bowled seven maidens.

To rub salt into Pakistan's wounds, India posted its joint-biggest win (by wickets) only three days after 2005's famous victory.
The host, having opted to bat, failed to make the three digits yet again, collapsing for 94, thanks to a three-wicket haul by right-arm medium-pacer and eventual Player of the Match, Devika Palshikar.
India didn't lose a single wicket in the chase as Mithali Raj and Rumeli Dhar took India into the tournament final with 195 balls remaining.

India's largest victory (by runs) against Pakistan came at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Sri Lanka.

Only four of Pakistan's batters could register a double-digit score - the highest being Javeria Khan's 20 - as Snehal Pradhan and David ran through the order, picking up three wickets apiece. Pakistan folded for 76 as India won by a mammoth 207 runs.
4. ICC Women's World Cup 2008/09, March 7, 2009, Bowral
Pakistan sunk to a new low during the 2008-09 World Cup in Australia as it posted its lowest score (57) since 1997.
The side found no answers to Dhar's medium-pace as the Bengal bowler finished with impressive figures of 8-5-7-3.
