India vs Pakistan, Women’s T20 World Cup 2016: Mithali Raj falls for 16

Mithali Raj’s struggle came to an end when Nida Dar dismissed her in the 12th over during the Match No.7 of ICC Women’s World T20 2016 at Delhi on Saturday. The Indian skipper, who is the third highest run-scorer in Women’s World T20s, only managed a 35-ball 16 in a crucial fixture against their arch rivals. She became Pakistan’s third victim after they had earlier removed the likes of Smriti Mandhana and Vanitha VR. Anam Ami and Asmavia Iqbal took the wicket of Smriti, while Asmavia sent back Vanitha to the dugout. India Women were 34 for 3 when Mithali got out in the second delivery of the 12th over. Live Cricket Score, India Women vs Pakistan Women, Women’s T20 World Cup 2016, IND W vs PAK W, Match 7 Group B at Delhi

Mithali had opened the boundary account for India in the eighth over when she took on Sadia Yousuf. Mithali went down the pitch and drove it over the covers and that happened to be the shot of the match so far. The second boundary came from Harmanpreet Kaur’s bat. At the end of 13 overs, India have managed only two boundaries so far and are yet to go for the big hit, which clearly shows the Pakistan’s bowling attack have successfully managed to keep the Indian batters in control.

At present, Harmanpreet and Veda Krishnamurthy are batting for India. It was this duo that had saved Team India in their match against Bangladesh after the dismissals of the openers. The situation is no different today, moreover the openers had performed well in that match, unlike today. Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first. While India won their opening match of World T20 against Bangladesh, Pakistan are coming off a defeat against West Indies.
