The India women’s national cricket team put on a ruthless all-round display to sweep aside Pakistan Women by seven wickets in the Women’s Asia Cup 2026 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. The Pakistan women’s national cricket team were bundled out for just 55 in 18.1 overs, their lowest-ever total in Women’s T20I cricket.
India then completed the chase in only 8.4 overs, reaching 56/3 with 68 balls to spare. The victory extended India’s winning run in the Women’s Asia Cup to three matches. The Women in Blue will now shift their focus to the semi-finals.
India Women vs Pakistan Women Highlights
India’s bowlers dictated terms from the outset after Pakistan elected to bat. The top order struggled to counter India’s disciplined spin attack, with wickets tumbling at regular intervals.
Shree Charani was particularly impressive, returning 3/7 from four overs at an economy rate of just 1.75. Prema Rawat also played a key role as India’s spinners strangled Pakistan’s scoring options.
Pakistan’s collapse was extraordinary, with the side losing six wickets before reaching eight runs. They eventually limped to 55 all out in 18.1 overs, establishing a new low for their women’s T20I team.
The IND-W vs PAK-W result also strengthened India’s position at the top end of Group A, having already secured their semi-final berth after victories over Thailand and Hong Kong.
INDW vs PAKW: Comfortable Chase Seals Hat-Trick Of Wins
In response to 56, India adopted an uncomplicated approach despite losing three wickets during the pursuit. Pakistan captain Fatima Sana briefly threatened a fightback with the ball, but the target was far too small to defend. India reached the required score in 8.4 overs to complete a seven-wicket victory with 68 deliveries remaining.
The emphatic result capped another dominant group-stage performance from Harmanpreet Kaur’s side. India had previously defeated Thailand by 94 runs before dismantling Hong Kong by 137 runs, while Smriti Mandhana’s 124 against Hong Kong had also rewritten several international batting records.
