India’s Steady Batting Effort

After winning the toss and opting to bat first, India posted a competitive 247 all out in 50 overs. The top order laid the foundation, with Smriti Mandhana anchoring the innings with a composed 67 off 88 balls. Harmanpreet Kaur played a captain’s knock, adding 52 runs, while Richa Ghosh chipped in with a quickfire 34 in the final overs to lift India’s total.

Pakistan’s Diana Baig was the standout bowler for her side, taking 4 wickets for 69 runs, troubling India’s middle order with her pace and swing. Despite her effort, India managed to put up a defendable score on a pitch that began to slow down as the innings progressed.

Kranti Gaud’s Magic with the Ball

Chasing 248, Pakistan started steadily with Sidra Ameen playing a lone hand, scoring an impressive 81 off 105 balls. However, once Kranti Gaud was introduced into the attack, India seized full control of the match. Her ability to swing the ball both ways and attack the stumps proved too much for Pakistan’s middle order.

Gaud removed key batters including Muneeba Ali and Sadaf Shamas, breaking Pakistan’s rhythm. Her spell of 3/20 in 10 overs turned the tide completely in India’s favor, as the opposition crumbled from 110/3 to 159 all out.

Teamwork and Discipline Seal the Win

Support from the other end came from Deepti Sharma and Kranti Gaud, who picked up three wickets each. India’s fielding was sharp, with Harmanpreet Kaur pulling off a stunning catch at point to dismiss Sidra Ameen.

This emphatic win not only boosts India’s confidence but also strengthens their position in the group standings. Kranti Gaud’s brilliance stood out as a sign of India’s growing bowling depth heading into the tournament’s crucial phase.
