- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.1 Oh what a big wicket for Pakistan. Mandhana has found the bowler. She was looking so good but goes after her fifty. Soft dismissal that, she comes down the pitch and chips it back to Amin who hangs on and tumbles over in delight. A roar from the bowler who is with her sunglasses on. Mandhana walks back disappointed 98/32.6 knocked her over! Shafali goes for a big mow over the leg side but misses and hears the stumps rattled. Diana's accuracy and early pressure with the succession of dots got to Shafali as she looked for a release shot. Pakistan are pumped and they should be. 4/121.6 gone! Sandhu punches the air in delight. Slower and turning in towards off, Deepti gets across to pull, but the ball comes on slower than she expects, is through the shot early, misses and the off-stump is flattened. The big stand is broken 96/233.1 Pressure. Sheer pressure. And Mithali falls to that. Down the track to the SLA, looking for the big hit, it is tossed up and she is not to the pitch, slogs but it skews off a thick outside-edge and a dolly for point who reverse-cups. Sandhu with a big smile, that is a killer blow for India. Pakistan firmly on top 114/628.4 Given out LBW. But Kaur reviews immediately. Kaur was forward and outside the crease when she got struck on the pad. No inside-edge, so we move on. Three reds and gone! Tossed up on off, turning in, Kaur takes a step outside to try and tuck that to leg, but misses, hit in line on the pad and it's crashing into the top of middle and leg. Pakistan edge ahead with another wicket. The pressure of dots is paying off handsomely 108/430.5 another one. Richa drags the sweep on. Dream phase for Pakistan. Tossed up outside off, Richa goes for the big sweep, but bottom-edges it back on. Dots and then the wicket. India stumbling here 112/549.1 the leg stump is flattened but what a knock Vastrakar has played. She gets a standing ovation from the fans and her team for this terrific half-century. Looks to walk down the pitch and wallop this leg side but misses it completely to see the leg stump flattened. 236/7Extras11 (lb 1, nb 3, w 7)TOTAL244/7 (50 Overs, RR: 4.88)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Shafali Verma, 2.6 ov), 2-96 (Deepti Sharma, 21.6 ov), 3-98 (Smriti Mandhana, 24.1 ov), 4-108 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 28.4 ov), 5-112 (Richa Ghosh, 30.5 ov), 6-114 (Mithali Raj, 33.1 ov), 7-236 (Pooja Vastrakar, 49.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.2 gone! Clear nick again and the returning Jhulan strikes. Good length outside off, Sidra wants to run it down to third man, but tickles it to Richa. She did all the hard work and plays a poor shot to get out 67/410.6 straight to mid-on. Jhulan makes no mistake. Javeria rushes out to loft but does not get to the pitch, no timing and it's an easy catch at chest height to the veteran. Javeria goes after struggling to rotate the strike during the first powerplay 28/117.4 great catch and Bismah has to go! Clear inside-edge as she sweeps and there was a noise too, the umpire had his finger up in a flash. But Bismah reviews and UltraEdge shows a clear spike. Richa stayed low and held on - just about but that will do 53/218.2 Sneh Rana punches the air and leaps in delight. India have their third. Tossed up outside off, Omaima drives and edge it to the throat of slip who reverse-cups well. Was a sharp catch and she made it look easy 58/323.1 another edge and half the side is gone. Width outside off, Nida throws the bat with no footwork and edges it behind. Richa takes her third catch, poor shot and Pakistan in the doldrums now 70/529.6 a tight over which saw a couple of beauties ends with a wicket. This is outstanding from Gayakwad. Tossed up outside off, Aliya comes down to swipe but is beaten by the drift and spin, her bat doesn't come back down in time, It's in the air when the stumps are broken. Richa has her fourth dismissal as she whips the bails off. India coasting to a win now 87/633.1 plays across the line and gone! Gayakwad does her in flight and guile. Struck on middle and there's little reason to overturn this on DRS, me thinks. Let's see. Yes, ball tracking confirms this would've gone on to hit middle and leg. As plumb as they come, Alex Wharf's decision is upheld. 98/735.5 appeal for lbw and given! Sidra early into the sweep and was through with the shot even before the ball arrived. Wharf gives it out after a lot of deliberation. Pakistan can't review that because they don't have any left. But this was so plumb that it wouldn't have mattered even if they would've gone upstairs. Fourth for Rajeshwari Gayakwad. 113/842.6 holes out to long-on finally as she tries to swat this length ball outside off. India in Women's World Cups against Pakistan: Played four, won four. 137/1036.5 terrific catch by Richa Ghosh! This one lobbed off an inside edge as she pushed forward, Ghosh saw the lob and ran in past the batter, then put in a full-length dive to grab that. Sandhu wasn't happy with the call, she reckoned there was no bat, perhaps. Replays confirm there was a definite inside edge. 114/9Extras3 (b 1, w 2)TOTAL137 all out (43 Overs, RR: 3.18)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Javeria Khan, 10.6 ov), 2-53 (Bismah Maroof, 17.4 ov), 3-58 (Omaima Sohail, 18.2 ov), 4-67 (Sidra Amin, 21.2 ov), 5-70 (Nida Dar, 23.1 ov), 6-87 (Aliya Riaz, 29.6 ov), 7-98 (Fatima Sana, 33.1 ov), 8-113 (Sidra Nawaz, 35.5 ov), 9-114 (Nashra Sandhu, 36.5 ov), 10-137 (Diana Baig, 42.6 ov)
