Women’s T20 WC: Smriti’s 68, Richa’s 34 Carry India To 170/6 Against Pakistan
T20 World Cup: Smriti Mandhana’s fluent 68 and Richa Ghosh’s late blitz of 34 powered India to 170/6 against Pakistan in their Women’s T20 World Cup clash at Edgbaston on Sunday. On a used pitch, Smriti stabilised India’s innings by hitting 68 off 44 balls laced with nine fours and two sixes, with her lofted shots and precise footwork being the standout aspects.
Richa then tore into the bowling through a blistering 17-ball cameo as the two overs yielded 38 runs. Pakistan had its moments, with Fatima Sana (2-33) and Sadia Iqbal (2-41) striking key blows, but dropped chances proved costly as India capitalised to reach a competitive total and push Pakistan into the pursuit of their highest successful chase in tournament history.
India’s innings began with less fireworks and more setbacks in power-play. Shafali Verma smashed Sadia over long-off for six on the first ball but was on the third ball after edging behind to Muneeba Ali Siddiqui. Smriti steadied the ship through a leaning extra cover drive and swiping off Sadia for two boundaries.
