India Innings Summary: Chasing a target of 150 to win, Jemimah struck a brilliant 53 not out off just 38 deliveries. She struck eight boundaries while Richa hit five fours during their unbeaten knocks as India reached 151 for 3 in 19 overs, their highest successful chase in the T20 World Cup.
Shafali Verma (33 off 25 balls) and Yastika Bhatia (17) gave India a good start, stitching 38 runs in 5.3 overs. But Shafali’s dismissal in the 10th over with Sidra Ameen taking a fine catch near the boundary set India on the backfoot.
One-down Jemimah survived a close stumping call as India reached 67 for 2 at the halfway mark. Harmanpreet struck a boundary from the third delivery she faced and repeated it in the same 11th over to swell the Indian total. But she was guilty of trying to slog-sweep across the line and against the turn off the bowling of Fatima Sana. The top edge was easily taken by Bismah Maroof as India were reduced to 93 for 3 in 13.3 overs.
India needed 83 runs from the last 10 overs and despite the fall of crucial wickets, the good start and batting depth kept India in the hunt. But the run rate kept climbing for India as they needed 47 from the last five overs. With Jemimah and new batter Richa getting the boundaries often, the equation became 28 runs from three overs.
Richa turned the match on its head as she hit three successive boundaries in the first three balls of the 18th over bowled by Aiman Anwer. Needing 14 from the last two overs, Jemimah struck three fours in the penultimate over to end the match in a jiffy.
Pakistan Innings Summary: Earlier, Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof played a captain’s knock to clinch a half-century while Ayesha Naseem’s impactful inning helped Pakistan reach a competitive total of 149 runs.
India did not take long to get the breakthrough. In-form off-spinner Deepti Sharma dismissed opener Javeria Khan (8) in the second over. Pakistan showed attacking intent even after the early jolt. Captain Bismah Maroof hit two consecutive boundaries in the fourth over.
Pakistan were reduced to 43 for 3 in the eighth over but they made a brilliant recovery. The two quick wickets set Pakistan on the back-foot from a promising position as they were reduced to 58 for 3 at the halfway mark.
They scored 91 runs in the second half of their innings with captain Bismah Maroof (68 not out) and Ayesha Naseem (43 not out) stitching 81 runs for the unconquered fifth wicket. Ayesha made a quickfire 43 from 25 balls while the skipper played the role of the sheet anchor to remain unbeaten on 68 runs.
