- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 what a comeback! Backed herself to cramp Shafali for room, and succeeds. Bowls length on middle and leg, Shafali backs away to cut but is cramped for room as the ball keeps coming in, gets the faintest of edges that is well pouched by the wicketkeeper. 6/113.5 Third time lucky for Pakistan and this is a well-judged catch by who else but captain Fatima Sama. Mandhana departs after a brilliant 68 but has she done the damage already? Shamim tosses this up outside off, Mandhana charges down the track in a bid to clear long-on. Gets it right of the cue-end of the bat and Sana rushes in and takes the catch inches off the turf 109/33.2 taken on the second attempt! Rodrigues looks to heave this full delivery into the leg-side, but gets a top-edge that is taken by Natalia Parvez at extra cover after a brief bobble. The angle was taking the ball away and Rodrigues may have been better off trying to go over the off-side. Pakistanis in the crowd are absolutely buzzing. A wicket off her second ball on T20 World Cup debut for Rubab. 18/216.2 Captain gets captain and that is a lovely catch at the deep square leg boundary! That was there to be hit and Harman got a good piece of that, but just not enough power behind it. Length ball on middle and leg, she flicks and for all money, that seemed to be going the distance. But Natalia settled under it and calmly completed the catch 123/514.2 Fulmali's innings lasts all of three balls. Lovely delivery from Sadia. Gently floats this on middle stump and deceives Fulmali in flight who came charging down the track trying to send this ball out of Edgbaston. Misses it and Muneeba completes a smart stumping. 110/419.5 Sana ends Ghosh's cameo, but I suspect the damage has been done! Scrambled seam length ball on off stump, Ghosh backs away eyeing another swipe across the line. She completely misses the ball and sees her off pole pegged back 168/6Extras11 (nb 1, w 10)TOTAL170/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.5)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Shafali Verma, 0.5 ov), 2-18 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 3.2 ov), 3-109 (Smriti Mandhana, 13.5 ov), 4-110 (Bharti Fulmali, 14.2 ov), 5-123 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 16.2 ov), 6-168 (Richa Ghosh, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 A direct hit from Deepti. Has she found Muneeba short? India look confident and they have their reasons. Muneeba is just short of her crease. BullsEye from Deepti and Muneeba is finally out of here and that's a big, big wicket for India. Floated outside off, Natalia squeezes this off the outside edge as she hurtles down the track. She runs with the shot and Muneeba responds. But Deepti at backward point runs to her left, collects cleanly and then nails a direct hit 75/44.5 reverse swept straight to Bharti Fulmali at point! Got to wonder if that was a risk worth taking. But again, Deepti has reaped the rewards for stringing together dot deliveries. India will breathe a huge sigh of relief, Pakistan were beginning to run away up top. 38/16.3 swept straight to short fine leg. Mandhana had to react quickly and she did really well to get her fingers underneath the ball diving forward. That was struck really hard. 53/27.4 leading edge to short cover! That's as easy as they come. A dream wicket for a left-arm spinner. She looks to work it against the turn, but the ball turns away to take the leading edge. India on the ascendancy. 58/312.1 Another one bites the dust. If Mandhana picked up the previous catch, Harman gets into the act now. Tossed up fuller on off stump, Natalia looks to go inside out over covers by shimmying down the track. She gets too close to the pitch of the ball and despite getting a decent connection, doesn't get the elevation. Harmanpreet at extra cover takes a smart catch over her head 79/611.3 Shafali takes three balls to strike and Pakistan are quickly losing their way. Fatima Sana, the captain, falls for a three-ball duck. Tossed up well outside off stump, Sana had the room and frees her arms to clear covers. But she doesn't get it anywhere near the middle. Bunts it straight to Mandhana, who makes no mistake. 77/516.2 Straight down deep midwicket's throat and Deepti has her third. Gently flighted on middle and leg, Riaz goes across the line but doesn't generate any power behind the shot. Rodrigues is a few metres inside the boundary line and takes a simple catch 105/814.4 Oh, that is a top grab from Patil at backward point and Pakistan lose their seventh. Charani slows this up and gets some help from the surface with the ball turning away from Shamim. She jumps down the track looking to loft over covers. Instead, she skews it off the outside edge with the ball lobbing to the right of Patil who sprints, dives and takes a good catch 91/716.6 DEEPTI SHARMA, you beauty! Five wickets for the star allrounder and India have defeated Pakistan comprehensively by 64 runs! This game has finished in a hurry and it is fitting that Deepti bags the final wicket. Tossed up on off, she sweeps this straight to Harmanpreet at short midwicket. All smiles as Harmanpreet hugs Deepti. Pakistan have been bowled out for 106 and India have two important points. 106/1016.4 Four for the rockstar Deepti and Pakistan are fading very quickly. Tossed up outside off stump, she crashes this across the line but only as far as Rodrigues at cow corner who makes no mistake. Deepti has four! 105/9Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL106 all out (17 Overs, RR: 6.23)Fall of wickets: 1-38 (Gull Feroza, 4.5 ov), 2-53 (Ayesha Zafar, 6.3 ov), 3-58 (Saira Jabeen, 7.4 ov), 4-75 (Muneeba Ali, 10.5 ov), 5-77 (Fatima Sana, 11.3 ov), 6-79 (Natalia Pervaiz, 12.1 ov), 7-91 (Rameen Shamim, 14.4 ov), 8-105 (Aliya Riaz, 16.2 ov), 9-105 (Tasmia Rubab, 16.4 ov), 10-106 (Nashra Sandhu, 16.6 ov)
