3.36pm A whirlwind 64* off 29 balls along with Harmanpreet Kaur's 66 off 47 has helped India power past 200 for the first time in T20Is. India hammered 37 runs off the last two overs to get to the mark. This now is the highest ever score in the history Women's T20 Asia Cup, surpassing the 181/4 also by India vs Malaysia in 2022. Harman and Ghosh added 75 off 45 balls and this will be some chase for UAE. They started well with the ball, but failed to sustain the pressure in the back-end. Join Shashank after the break for the chase.

Gops: "Kaur and Ghosh complement each other well, one compulsively plays to leg, all her rotating and boundary options are to the legside, Ghosh is exactly the opposite. Should be a good juxtaposition in ODIs at least"

Harsh: "Exceptional death overs hitting from Richa."
