However India lost the match on Saturday because of their batswomen, who were simply unable to score of a disciplined Pakistan bowling attack that forced the hosts to play dot balls equivalent to 10 overs. In pursuit of the paltry target of 97, Nahida Khan (14)and Sidra Ameen (26) gave Pakistan a rollicking start and reached the 50-run mark in 10th over for the loss of just three wickets.

That's when India came back into the match with some tight bowling but in the end what did them in were some poor fielding and a missed stumping chance by Sushma Verma off Muneeba Ali (12 not out). Had she pulled off that regulation stumping, Pakistan would have been seven down and as per D/L par score India would have won the match by one run.

Earlier sent into bat, Indian eves found it tough to rotate the strike, leave aside hitting boundaries and sixes against some disciplined bowling and brilliant fielding from Pakistan to manage a paltry 96 for seven.
