Women's World Cup: India beat Pakistan by 107 runs — Highlights
Harmanpreet OUT!
A big shout for LBW from Nida Dar and it is given. Harmanpreet reviews it right away and takes a review with her. There was a clear gap between bat and ball and it crashed right into the stumps.
India sinks further down the hole. Richa Ghosh comes out to the middle.
IND - 108/4 (28.4)
106/3 (28)
Pakistan continue to apply pressure. The strike rotation has fallen to drastically with Mithali and Harmanpreet in the middle. They need to get going soon.
IND - 106/3 (28)
IND - 102/3 (26)
The run-rate for India has fallen below 4 and Pakistan seem to have found a new burst of energy in the field.
IND - 102/3 (26)
MANDHANA FALLS!
As lazy, lazy shot from Smriti Mandhana as she lobs one back to the bowler. Anam Amin gleefully accepts it and she has been rewarded for all her hard-work.
Pakistan right on top now and the onus is on India's two most experienced batters - Mithali and Harmanpreet Kaur to take India out of this trouble.
IND - 100/3 (25)
Mithali yet to open her account
She has played 9 deliveries but is yet to open her account is Mithali
IND - 98/2 (24)
IND - 97/2 (23)
Just a single off that over as Mithali Raj tries to get her eyes in. Pakistan have been running away with the overs with spin from both ends.
BOWLED, DEEPTI SHARMA!
Deepti Sharma has to walk back. She is taken aback by how the ball bounced as she gets down and looks to sweep Nashra Sandhu. The ball goes on and disrupts the stumps.
40 off 57 it is then for Sharma and she makes way for her captain Mithali Raj!
IND - 96/2 (22)
50* Smriti Mandhana!
That's not come at her usual pace, but she will take it; India will take it. A very well compiled half century for Smriti Mandhana, but she has a lot to do.
End of 20 overs
A sense of calmness in the Indian dugout as Mandhana and Smriti go about their business. Neither are trying anything fancy and are just happy knocking it around for singles.
IND - 87/1 (20)
IND - 83/1 (19)
Both Deepti and Smriti look more than comfortable now. The strike rotation has improved in the past few overs and the occasional boundaries are not so rare as well.
IND - 83/1 (19)
