8.28pm Kabita Joshi finishes unbeaten on a 23-ball 31 and it is down to her that Nepal managed to reach 108 for 6. Pakistan won't mind this, though. They were excellent with the ball striking at timely intervals. Sadia Iqbal picked two wickets while three run outs too did not help Nepal's cause. Can Pakistan chase this down? Join Hemant in a bit to find out.

Sabita: "This is exactly the score Pakistan managed in there first game, so Nepal do have slight chances."

Sadia Iqbal: Yesterday I was flighting the ball, but flighted ball don't suit on these pitches. So I changed this up. The end [from where she is bowling] does not matter. I just want to work on my plan. [Chase?] It should be an easy chase. Our batting line-up is good.

Fatima Sana to Joshi, SIX, TONKED! Nice and full, right in Joshi's arc. She clears the front leg and absolutely pumps this over mid-off and eventually over the ropes. The Nepal dugout is ecstatic

Fatima Sana to Joshi, OUT, Confusion all around and Mahato has been run out. Length on leg stump, Joshi looks to swing across the line and misses. Mahato hared down looking for a bye, but Joshi wasn't going anywhere. Easy run out in the end as Muneeba tosses the ball to the bowler

Puja Mahato run out 25 (41m 32b 3x4 0x6) SR: 78.12

Fatima Sana to bowl the last over

Syeda Aroob Shah to Joshi, FOUR, Oh, dear. What should have been one is now four. Floated on off stump, she lofts straight to Aliya Riaz at long-on who does not get her body behind and the ball evades her
