Pakistan's innings, however, fell short as they were bowled out for just 159 runs in 43 overs. Indian bowlers Kranti Gaud and Deepti Sharma were the stars of the match, each taking three wickets and dismantling Pakistan's batting lineup.

The match began with Pakistan's skipper Fatima Sana winning the toss and choosing to bowl first. Despite some initial struggles, India's Harleen Deol emerged as the top scorer with a commendable 46 runs off 65 balls. The batting performance was solid, yet there were missed opportunities, as highlighted by captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
