India Women faced Pakistan Women in Match 7 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on October 6.
In a high-stakes clash, India’s star pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, was present at the stadium to cheer on the Women in Blue.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first but were restricted to just 105 runs by India’s clinical bowling performance.
Arundhati Reddy took three wickets, while Shreyanka Patil claimed two.
During India’s chase, Bumrah also interacted with the ICC while watching the game.
India, needing a big win after losing their first match against New Zealand, chased down the target in 18.5 overs with six wickets in hand.
Shafali Verma top-scored with 32 off 35 balls, while Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur contributed with 23 and 29* respectively.
Shafali and Jemimah’s 43-run partnership for the second wicket helped stabilize India’s innings after an early loss.
