Pakistan have clinched an impressive 13-run win over India in the Women's Asia Cup 2022 on Friday, October 7. What a win this is for Bismah Maroof and her team, especially after the devastating defeat to Thailand a day ago. They came out as the better side with Nida Dar contributing with both bat and ball in this match. Chasing 138, India lost regular wickets, something that halted their progress and made things tougher. Richa Ghosh did light up India's hopes with a fiery 26 off 13 balls but her dismissal ended the fight as Pakistan came out on top.

OUT! Richa Ghosh, after playing a gem of an innings, has departed and that surely has to be the game here! The right-hander, attempting to play one more big shot, has found the fielder. Pakistan in firm control. Richa Ghosh c Aliya Riaz b Sadia Iqbal 26(13)
OUT! Nashra Sandhu has struck and dismissed Radha Yadav who too perished while playing the big shot. Radha Yadav c Aliya Riaz b Nashra Sandhu 3(4)
OUT! Harmanpreet Kaur is out now and that might be the end of this game for India. The right-hander looked to clear the fence but instead found the fielder, who took a diving catch. India need a miracle now to win this contest. Harmanpreet Kaur c Aliya Riaz b Nida Dar 12(12)
OUT! Deepti Sharma is the one to depart and Pakistan are clearly ahead now! She tried to play a sweep shot and instead, found a top-edge with Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof taking a simple catch. What a blow this is for India! Deepti Sharma c Bismah Maroof b Sadia Iqbal 16(11)

The run rate is climbing steeply with 48 runs needed from the last five overs. India probably have two of their best players out in the middle and they would need to steer the side to a win from here on. For Pakistan, one more wicket would do the trick.
OUT! India are losing their way here in this chase. First, Pooja Vastrakar gets run out and next, Dayalan Hemlatha is bowled by Tuba Hassan. With these quick wickets, it is safe to say that now, everything rests on the partnership between Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma. Pooja Vastrakar run out (Nashra Sandhu/Muneeba Ali) 5(8) and Dayalan Hemalatha b Tuba Hassan 20(22).
OUT! India have lost a big wicket and it is that of Smriti Mandhana! The left-hander tries to hit a big shot by going down the track but she finds the fielder with Aiman Anwer taking the catch. India in deep deep trouble at the moment. Smriti Mandhana c Aiman Anwer b Nashra Sandhu 17(19)

India have been in sensational form and the record champions are looking to get their hands on the crown once more. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side are at the top of the table after winning their opening three games and will look to continue that run.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's momentum was halted in their previous fixture as they were beaten by Thailand in a shock result. The Bismah Maroof-led outfit comes into the clash with two wins in three games and will be aiming to get back to winning ways.
India have the better head-to-head record between the reams in T20I encounters. The Women in Blue have registered 10 wins over their rivals, who have just two victories in 12 matches. These two sides are among the favourites to lift the prestigious trophy.
