8.28pm: Pakistan continue to struggle with the bat in the shortest format. There was intent but they did not pick the right balls to go big. Vastrakar's two early wickets set the tone for India and the team, after losing the toss, struck regularly to keep Pakistan in check. Lack of partnerships put pressure on Nida Dar and the batters down the order as they lost 47 runs for the last six wickets. Sana's 22 not out off 16 lifted Pakistan at the death for them to go past the 100-run mark but there was no support at the other end. Renuka and Patil picked up two apiece, Deepti in the middle overs bowled beautifully to scalp three. Pakistan will have to bowl very well to shake this strong Indian batting line-up. Join Hemant soon for the chase!

Ali Asghar: "Unless this Pakistan Women's team completely revamp their batting approach according to modern day cricket, i don't see the giving any kind of competition to top teams, they need to hire some batters with aggressive mindset and are capable to hit sixes when situation demands, on the other hand, their bowling unit is awesome and as reliable as other top teams."
