India produced one of the most emphatic performances of the Women’s Asia Cup when they bowled Pakistan out for 55 and completed the chase with seven wickets in hand on September 5.
Pakistan struggled to find any rhythm against India’s spin attack and slipped to their lowest total in Women’s T20I cricket. India’s bowlers repeatedly denied easy singles, forced mistakes and prevented the innings from developing any sustained partnership.
India did lose early wickets, but the small target meant the chase never moved out of their control. Shafali Verma made the intent clear immediately and crossed 3,000 T20I runs during the innings, another milestone in a career built around aggressive powerplay batting.
Pakistan captain Fatima Sana briefly gave her side hope with three wickets, but India completed the chase comfortably and strengthened their position at the top of the group.
The match showed why India have been difficult to beat in this tournament. Their bowling depth allows them to attack even when conditions are slow, and the side has enough batting power to make modest targets feel straightforward.
