India's bowlers overwhelmed Pakistan in the Women's Asia Cup, reducing their opponents to 55 before India completed a seven-wicket victory in Dubai.
Shree Charani and Prema Rawat took three wickets each as Pakistan recorded its lowest total in T20 cricket. India then raced to 56, losing only three wickets and finishing the chase in 8.4 overs.
Shafali Verma opened the pursuit with a six from the first ball, but Pakistan captain Fatima Sana briefly created uncertainty. She dismissed Verma with her own bowling and then had Prateeka Rawal caught by Muneeba three balls later, leaving India at 18 for two.
Sana struck again in her next over by trapping Smriti Mandhana. Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored 18, and Deepti Sharma, who made 12, settled the chase and took India over the line. The match lasted just over two hours, far shorter than its scheduled four-hour duration.
