Deepti Sharma STRIKES!
Deepti Sharma is reverse lapped for a boundary by Javeria. She pulls out of the next delivery to get into batter's mind before forcing a sweep. Javeria top-edges it to Harmanpreet Kaur at fine leg. One of the more easier grabs for the Indian captain in her career.
PAK: 10/1 (1.4)

No Smriti Mandhana for India
As expected, India will have to open their ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 campaign sans Smriti Mandhana. The women in blue vice-captain reportedly picked up a finger injury during India's first warmup match against Australia.
She subsequently had missed the team's second warm-up too against Bangladesh.
With India been asked to chase, how will Harmanpreet and co. fare without their star batter?

PITCH REPORT
"This pitch will play similar to the last game. Despite a few cracks, this is a good cricket wicket. It might be a bit two-paced, but we should have a good contest," says Dane Van Neikerk in her pitch report.
