    Women’s T20 WC: Shafali Top Scores With 32 As India Register Six-wicket Win Over Pakistan

    Opener Shafali Verma: Opener Shafali Verma top-scored with 32 as India huffed and puffed to complete a chase of 106 and beat Pakistan by six wickets to get their first win of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

    After restricting Pakistan to 105/8, India were expected to complete the chase in a jiffy with an eye to boost their net run rate. But with Pakistan being disciplined with their bowling on a slow pitch, India could amass only 25/1 in power-play, before Shafali, Jemimah Rodrigues (23) and Harmanpreet Kaur (29) ensured the chase was completed with seven balls to spare.

    Chasing 106, Shafali survived an lbw decision off Fatima Sana when the replay showed the ball missing stumps. With Pakistan stifling run-flow with tight bowling, the pressure on India to break free resulted in Smriti Mandhana slicing a wide ball from Sadia Iqbal to point in the fifth over.
