India’s Spinners Crush Pakistan in Women’s Asia Cup

Indian bowlers delivered a collective masterclass as they dismantled Pakistan for just 55, their lowest-ever total in T20Is, in the ongoing Women’s Asia Cup 2026. The spinners kept Pakistan under pressure throughout the innings, attacking the stumps, varying their flight and making it almost impossible for the batters to build any momentum.

Shree Charani led the way with an outstanding 3/7, striking twice in her first over before adding another wicket to leave Pakistan reeling. Her flight, dip and turn repeatedly troubled the batters, while her disciplined lines forced them into risky shots.

Prema Rawat was equally impressive, finishing with 3/9. She kept the stumps in play and used her control and subtle turn to squeeze the life out of Pakistan’s middle and lower order. Her dismissal of Nashra Sandhu was another example of her ability to tempt batters into mistakes.

Shafali Verma chipped in with 1/10, while Deepti Sharma claimed 2/5, including the crucial wicket of captain Fatima Sana and the final wicket of Tuba Hassan. Deepti and the other spinners never allowed Pakistan to settle, with wickets falling at regular intervals.

India’s bowlers shared the responsibility impeccably, and the result was a complete collapse of Pakistan’s batting unit. Poor shot selection and the decision to bat first after winning the toss backfired for Pakistan as they looked clueless in their outing.

Chasing 56, however, India were given an early scare as Shafali, Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal were dismissed cheaply. Pakistani skipper was the only bowler to take wickets for her side, striking three times with her disciplined bowling as India slipped to 29/3.

But Pakistan could not build on that pressure. Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti steadied the innings with a composed partnership, taking India safely across the line. Their calm approach ensured there were no further setbacks as India completed a comfortable seven-wicket victory with 11.3 overs to spare.
