India Women’s last encounter against Pakistan Women came at the Asia Cup T20 held in Sri Lanka earlier in the year. A three-wicket haul from Deepti Sharma helped reduce Pakistan to 108.
A strong opening stand between Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana made short work of the chase as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side chased down the target in 14.1 overs. Syeda Shah dismissed the two openers before they could manage their fifty but the skipper and Jemimah Rodrigues saw the team through comfortably.
