Women’s Asia Cup T20: Spinners headline India’s crushing 7-wicket win vs Pakistan
The Indian women's cricket team secured a dominant seven-wicket victory over Pakistan in the Women's Asia Cup T20. Indian spinners restricted Pakistan to their lowest-ever T20I score of 55, leading to a swift and decisive win.
Why it matters
This match highlights the competitive landscape of women's cricket in Asia and the tactical dominance of spin bowling in the tournament.
Left-arm spinner Shree Charani was the star performer, returning brilliant figures of 3 for 7, with able support from young leg-spinner Prema Rawat, as India dismantled Pakistan for a paltry 55 in 18.1 overs without breaking much sweat in an inconsequential Group A league game of the Women's Asia Cup here on Saturday (September 5, 2026).
This was Pakistan's lowest score in history of T20 Internationals.
Opting to bat, Pakistan did start confidently, reaching 27 for no loss in little over four overs with openers Muneeba Ali (13) and Shawaal Zulfiqar (14) facing the seamers with ease, but none of the other batters was able to reach double figures in an embarrassing display of ineptitude.
