"We did pretty well with the ball. A couple of misfields hurt us. We just need to play according to the ball and keep doing what needs to be done," says Radha Yadav in the innings break.

INDIA BOWLING FIGURES

Radha Yadav the only bright spot for India in an otherwise poor outing with the ball.

PAKISTAN SCORECARD

Pakistan have registered their best-ever total batting first in T20 World Cup match.

END OF INNINGS!

Excellent outing with the bat this for Pakistan as they pile on 149 in their 20 overs. Bismah Maroof the architect of that innings with Ayesha Naseem providing the much needed fire power.

India will have their task cut-out when they come out to chase this.

PAK: 149/4 (20)

Naseem, DROPPED AGAIN!

Naseem goes down town once again and this time the fielder at long-off parries it over the rope. India are losing the plot here as Pakistan register their highest-ever T20I total against India.

PAK: 143/4 (19.2)

Ayesha, DROPPED!

Ayesha Naseem looks to take on Gayakwad and skies it. Radha Yadav runs in from long off and gets her hands to it, but it eventually pops out. Terrible from one of the best fielders in the Indian setup.

PAK: 136/4 (19)
