India sent Pakistan to bat first after winning the toss and bowled them out for a mere 67 runs in 43.4 overs. The women in blue then reached the target in just 22.3 overs, scoring 70 for three to secure a comprehensive win which helped them to top the Super 6 table.
Ekta Bisht shone for India with an impressive five-wicket haul, finishing with brilliant figures of 10-7-8-5.
Shikha Pandey (2/09) chipped in with a couple of wickets. The two bowlers ran through the Pakistani batting line-up.

Deepti and Harmanpreet put on a solid 42 runs together for the third wicket.
For Pakistan, Sadia Yousuf claimed two wickets by giving away 19 runs.
