Pakistan Women vs India Women, 4th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

India's flawless record against Pakistan at the WCs took a setback in 2021 when the men were defeated by a spirited Pakistan side. Even the women's team started off well but India fought back late with the bat and took all the momentum away. India begin their WC campaign with a big win and that will give a facelift to their NRR. We will be back again with more cricketing action. This is KAD signing off on behalf of Pradeep K and Mukesh!

Mithali: I am happy we won the first game but a lot of things to work on. When you lose wickets in the middle order, it does put a lot of pressure. The top-order has to score runs in a big tournament like this. When you have all-rounders like Sneh, Deepti and Pooja, we extend our batting line up. Hope Pooja would be fine before the next game.

Bismah: We bowled well in the middle. We were in the game. We bowled some loose balls and Sneh as well as Pooja played well. Credit to them. We bowled some bad balls and gave away easy runs. We were sloppy on the field as well. I think we were doing well and leaked some runs. Didn't capitalize on the momentum. We need to focus more on batting as we didn't play some good shots today.

Pooja Vastrakar | Player of the Match - I'm very happy, my first player of the match award, in my first WC game. The plan was to somehow try and get to 200. I like to bat in pressure situations, even in domestics, I told the same to Sneh (Rana), to keep the partnership going. The batters told us that the wicket was slow, so the target was 200, but we didn't bat differently. The physio said that the injury will heal quickly and I'll be back soon.

20:47 Local Time, 07:47 GMT, 13:17 IST: India win by 107 runs! India's 11th win out of 11 ODIs against Pakistan. Mithali's 11th win as well. India were in serious trouble but the partnership between Pooja and Sneh did it for India. Pooja played with a carefree spirit and that helped her. Sneh also gave her good support. India finished with 244. Pakistan with the bat started off on an iffy note at the start. But then once the first 10 over mark was done, wickets started falling. Gayakwad did well with the ball and picked up 4 wickets. And the other bowlers also supported her to help India pick up this big win.
