Hassan delivered the seventh over, which resulted in 21 runs as Mandhana smacked the bowling for five boundaries. In the tenth over, Mandhana, who was bowled by Syeda Aroob Shah and caught by Aliya Riaz at mid-wicket, gave Pakistan their first taste of victory.

Then, Jemimah Rodrigues and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur made sure the victors won easily.
Renuka Singh (2/14) was India’s pacer, and in her final two deliveries of her period, she hit two consecutive wickets. To reduce Pakistan to 61 for 6 in 13 overs, Renuka first removed Sidra Amin (25), and then in the following ball, she caught Iram Javed leg before. Following that, Pakistan made progress when Tuba Hassan (22) and Fatima Sana (22 not out) put together a crucial 31-run partnership for the seventh wicket.
