Team India steamrolled Pakistan by eight wickets to bounce back to winning ways in the ongoing Commonwealth Games Women’s Cricket Competition 2022 at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Sunday.
After batting first, Pakistan were completely dominated by Indian bowlers as the Women in Green were bundled out for a mere 99 in 18 overs. Sneh Rana (2/15) and Radha Yadav (2/18) sizzled with the ball, taking a couple of wickets each. Wicketkeeper-batter Muneeba Ali (32) was the only ba⭕tter who was able to cross the 30-run ♓mark.
In response, India gunned down the target in just 11.4 overs, with star batter Smriti Mandhana smashing an incredible half-century. Mandhana played an﷽ unbeaten knoꦜck of 63 runs off 42 deliveries, including eight fours and three sixes.
