Pakistani women’s cricket team snatched a one-run victory against India in a thrilling women’s World T20 match at the Galle International Stadium.
Undeterred by yesterday’s defeat of Pakistan men’s team at the hands of the Indians, the women beating India by one run in a nail-biting match perhaps equalized the account.
The Pakistani women’s team made 98 runs in 20 overs. Captain Sana Mir put 26 runs on the score board along with Nain Abidi 25. Jhulan Goswami, Anuja Patel and Dasanara Parween took two wickets each.
In reply, the Indian women’s team could score only 97 runs for 8 in 20 overs. Jhulan Goswami making 21 runs emerged as the top scorer. Nida Rashid took 3 wickets and Bisma Maroof 2.
Both teams were playing for pride, having failed to qualify for the semi-final of the eight-nation event, and Pakistan emerged victorious courtesy of their bowling unit, which halted India’s progress despite a low target.
