ICC Women's World Cup:India beat Pakistan

In New Zealand,the Indian women team thrashed arch-rivals Pakistan by 107 runs to begin their campaign in the ICC Women's World Cup on a rousing note on Sunday, Opting to bat after the coin landed in India's favour, in-form opener Smriti Mandhana, Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar struck useful half-centuries to help their team recover from an early wobble and post 244 for seven at the Bay Oval. Chasing a tricky target of 245, the Pakistan team fell way short of the mark and was all out for 137 in 43 overs, losing its 11th straight game against neighbours India in the 50-over format.

Left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad did the star turn with the ball, returning with excellent figures of 4/31 after her full quota of 10 overs. Seasoned pacer Jhulan Goswami bowled very well to finish the game with impressive figures of 2/29, while there were also two wickets for Rana (2/27), capping off her fine all-round show. A 92-run stand between Mandhana (52 off 75 balls) and Deepti Sharma (40 off 57) helped steady the ship.

In reply, Pakistan were precariously placed at 78 for five at the halfway point in their innings, 167 runs away from a win. India were rewarded for some tight bowling early on, limiting Pakistan to just 26 for no loss at the end of the powerplay. The pressure got to the openers as Javeria Khan departed in the 11th over, trying to take the aerial route.
