India thus register an emphatic win to start their Women's Asia Cup T20 2024 campaign with a win. Pakistan on the other hand, would be keen on bouncing back in the next match.
OUT! Syeda Aroob Shah has one more wicket and it is that of Shafali Verma, who was looking to finish it off quickly.

India's start continues to get better with the opening partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma yielding 57 runs in the first six overs.

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma have gotten off to a terrific start here and it looks India will easily chase this down in quick time. Shafali Verma had started off on a high and now Smriti Mandhana is into the act as she hits her first boundary in the fourth over. Pakistan on the other hand, look to be without answers.
Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma have opened the proceeding for India with the bat, scoring six runs off the first over bowled by Sadia Iqbal. Pakistan need to take wickets up front to put any sort of pressure or else India could chase it down pretty easily.
Pakistan have been bowled out for just 108 runs here. Bowlers have kept India on top by taking wickets at regular intervals, never really allowing Pakistan's batters to gain any sort of momentum and target a big score.

A poor batting effort by Pakistan and they will now need to bowl very well to have any chance of defending this score.

India Women's National Cricket Team vs Pakistan Women's National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: The India women's national cricket team vs Pakistan women's national cricket team match is set to take place at the Women's Asia Cup T20 2024. India are coming out of a good preparation for the Women's Asia Cup. They are the defending champions and are favourites to win the title once again. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur has led the side successfully in the recent past, and Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma, being the players around her, have helped India to build a stable leadership group. In the bigger picture, India is aiming for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and would like to dominate their way to the Asia Cup 2024 title, starting with the match against Pakistan. Harmanpreet Kaur's 'That's None of My Business' Response To A Question About Media Presence Ahead of IND-W vs PAK-W Women's Asia Cup 2024 Goes Viral (Watch Video).
Bismah Maroof has retired from all forms of cricket recently and that has allowed Nida Dar to take over the captaincy of Pakistan Women's National Cricket Team once again. The Pakistan skipper's leadership and her all-around ability in pressure situations will be the deciding factor of how much Pakistan can compete in the ongoing Asia Cup 2024. Last time, they failed to make it to the final as they go eliminated in the semifinal with a loss to Sri Lanka. With the likes of Sidra Ameen, Fatima Sana, Muneeba Ali up her sleeves, Nida Dar can definitely put up a strong fight against the dominant Indians.
In the last few years, the head-to-head record has entirely been in the favour of the Indians. India Women and Pakistan Women have met 14 times in T20Is with the PAK-W only winning 3 games and IND-W winning 11 times. Shafali Verma will look to give an explosive start to India, while Smirit Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur will hold the fort. The middle overs are the favourite phase of play for Jemimah Rodrigues, while for explosive finishes, Richa Ghosh and Pooja Vastrakar will be the key for India. Veteran Deepti Sharma, Renuka Singh and Asha Sobhana will be the weapons for India in bowling.
