India dealing in boundaries
The Pakistan bowlers have struggled to find the proper line and length till now as both Smriti Mandhana and Mithali Raj are dealing in boundaries. India 48/0
22:32 hrs IST
Mithali on song
Stand and deliver! Anam Amin has no answer as Mithali Raj drives her for two boundaries! India are 39 for no loss after 4 overs and this is a perfect start to the run chase.
22:24 hrs IST
India start well
Two boundaries for Smriti Mandhana and this is an ideal start for India. They were already in a great position with the extra 10 runs and the opening partnership is flourishing brilliantly for them at the moment. IND 27/0
22:16 hrs IST
India begin chase
Back to old ways for India as veteran Mithali Raj will be opening their batting with Smriti Mandhana. Diana Baig will bowl the first over for Pakistan with 135 runs to chase. India begin with 10/0 on the board after Pakistan were fined for dangerous running between the wickets.
22:04 hrs IST
Pakistan 134/7
Two wickets each for Dayalan Hemalatha and Poonam Yadav as Pakistan reach 134/7 in 20 overs. Bismah Maroof was the top scorer with 54 while Nida Dar supported her well with 52.
21:58 hrs IST
Pakistan six down
Aliya Riaz is the latest one to lose her wicket as Pakistan are 134/5. A wicket for Poonam Yadav as Bhatia pulled off a solid stumping.
21:54 hrs IST
Nida departs
Nida Dar brings up her fifty but was unable to score more as she departs for 52, Pakistan 130/5
21:50 hrs IST
India strike
Finally a breakthrough for India as Bismah Maroof departs for 54, PAK 124/4. First wicket for Dayalan Hemalatha! Nida Dar, however, was not bothered by the wicket and she brought up her half century with a six.
21:43 hrs IST
Fifty for Maroof
Bismah Maroof - What an innings! Just 44 balls needed for her to complete a well-deserved fifty and Pakistan are 109/3 after 16.3 overs.
21:37 hrs IST
Trouble for India
9 runs from the Dayalan Hemalatha over and with 95/3 after 15 overs, Pakistan are certainly in the driver’s seat. India have struggled to take wickets after the initial breakthroughs and that can turn out to be a big problem for them.
21:32 hrs IST
Pakistan steady
56 off 46 balls - This has been a great partnership between Nida Dar and Bismah Maroof. Both are them are batting in the 30s and they will play a big role if Pakistan want to post a total in the vicinity of 150. PAK 86/3

Dar on fire
A flighted delivery from Deepti Sharma and Nida Dar hoisted it over mid-wicket for the first six of this encounter. Dar amd Maroof are look in good touch and with a run rate of 6.00, Pakistan will surely be thinking of a big total. PAK 73/3
21:15 hrs IST

20:52 hrs IST
Pakistan struggling

19:45 hrs IST
India’s spin attack
The bowling department is expected to keep up their decent work, specially the spin duo of Dayalan Hemalatha and Poonam Yadav, who shared six wickets between them in the previous match.
19:34 hrs IST
India hold advantage
With momentum firmly on India’s side, the ‘Women In Blue’ would like to set the record straight after losing to their arch-rivals in the 2016 edition at home.
However, since that loss in Delhi, India have played Pakistan thrice across two editions of Asia Cup, winning all the battles.

Harmanpreet’s secret
“Yesterday, I was having little bit back problem,” Kaur said after the match. “In the morning, I was not feeling well, when I came to the ground I was feeling a little low and getting some cramps.” The severe cramps hampered her running between the wickets as she came up with a different plan. “When initially I was running twos, I got a little cramp, after that the physio gave me medicine, and a little bit it settled down,” she said. “Then I thought instead of running too much, if I could I get more big shots … because you run too much, you get more cramps. Then I told Jemi (Jemimah Rodrigues), ‘if you give the strike to me, I can go for more big shots’,” she said.
19:18 hrs IST
India’s solid start
Harmanpreet Kaur led from the front with a blistering maiden T20I ton (103 from 51 balls) to help India post a mammoth 194/5, their highest ever T20I total before the bowlers got into the act to restrict the White Ferns to 160/9.
19:05 hrs IST
Jemimah Rodrigues shines for India
The best aspect about India’s performance against ‘White Ferns’ was young Jemimah Rodrigues’s matured effort. With her skipper going for the jugular, 18-year-old Rodrigues just tapped for singles giving the senior player bulk of the strike. Yet, she managed to hit seven boundaries at a strike rate of 130 plus.
18:53 hrs IST
Pakistan’s poor start
Pakistan were stunned by Australia with a 52-run margin. Their batting faltered in the face of accurate bowling from Australia. Not a single batter except Bismah Maroof’s 26 runs, could score. Assisting with the ball, spinner Sana Mir’s off the mark (0/32 in 4 overs) was also another factor for Pakistan not being able to restrict Australia.
18:40 hrs IST
Head to head record
India and Pakistan have faced each other 10 times with India winning eight encounters, while the neighbours winning the other two battles. Needing 14 runs in the last over, India lost by one run in 2012, while in a rain-hit match held in Delhi, the team lost by two runs on the Duckworth-Lewis method (DLS) method in 2016.
