Pakistan beat India by one run in a thrilling match of the Women’s World Twenty20 at the Galle International Stadium in Sri Lanka on Monday.
Both teams were playing for pride, having failed to qualify for the semi-final of the eight-nation event, and Pakistan emerged victorious courtesy their bowling unit, which halted India’s progress despite a low target.
Nida Dar, named player of the match, took three wickets and gave away only 12 runs in her four overs and was responsible for removing India’s top order batters. Leg-break bowler Bismah Maroof was responsible for removing the lower-order batters who looked like they would take India home. Maroof, however, removed Jhulan Goswami (21) and Amita Sharma in the second-last over to give Pakistan the upper hand. Captain Sana Mir also contributed with a wicket in the 16th over as Pakistan inched towards victory.
