India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the Women’s Asia Cup in Dubai on September 5, 2026, after bowling Pakistan out for 55. The India vs Pakistan women match ended when India reached 57 for three in 8.4 overs, completing the chase with 68 balls remaining.
Shree Charani took three wickets for seven runs and Prema Rawat claimed three for nine. Deepti Sharma added two wickets as Pakistan recorded its lowest total in women’s Twenty20 internationals.
India vs Pakistan women: spin controls the match
Pakistan lasted 18.1 overs but could not build a substantial partnership against India’s spin attack. Charani and Rawat took six wickets between them, while Deepti’s two wickets kept the pressure on the lower order.
The collapse left India with a target of 56. Although the chase was short, Pakistan created a brief opening by reducing India to 29 for three. Fatima Sana took all three wickets.
Harmanpreet and Deepti complete the chase
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma steadied the innings without taking unnecessary risks. Harmanpreet finished unbeaten on 18 and Deepti on 12, with the captain closing the match through a boundary and a six.
India’s victory margin reflects both the low target and the speed of the chase. The result should not obscure the early wickets, but the unbeaten partnership ensured the brief pressure did not develop into a serious contest.
India finish the group stage unbeaten
The win gave India three victories from three group matches and six points. India had already secured a semifinal place and finished the group stage on top, while Pakistan’s qualification position depended on its remaining fixture.
Charani was named player of the match for her spell. Her figures were central to the result because Pakistan never recovered from the wickets lost through the middle of the innings.
