Sanjeevan Sajana comes in for the injured-Harmanpreet Kaur who had retired hurt, and smashes her first ball for boundary towards the long-off region, as India Women beat Pakistan Women by 6 wickets and 7 balls remaining.
Over 17.5: Fatima Sana to Harmapreet Kaur, FOUR!!! The Indian skipper picks the slower one and dispatches it for a sensational boundary over the covers region, and India need 5 more runs to win.
Over 18.1: Fatima Sana to Deepti Sharma, OUT! Pakistan Women are pulling off a miracle, oh wait, Deepti Sharma has reviewed it immediately. There's a clear inside edge and the UltraEdge confirms it, Deepti Sharma's review is successful and the Indian dugout can breathe a sigh of relief.
Excellent game awareness from Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma, as they take the tough route for runs, by running hard between the wickets and notching up 10 runs. India Women now need 12 runs off 18 deliveries.
Over 15.3: Fatima Sana to Richa Ghosh, OUT! OH MY GOODNESS! NO WAY India Women manage to choke this one. Richa Ghosh departs for a golden duck and it's a repeat of the previous wicket, and yet another catch for Muneeba Ali. The crowd erupts in joy as Pakistan Women are back in the contest.
Over 15.2: Fatima Sana to Jemimah Rodrigues, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Huge breakthrough for Pakistan Women.
After 14 overs, India Women are 74/2, with Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur at the crease.
Over 11.5: Omaima Sohail to Shafali Verma, OUT, Not the right time to throw away your wicket, Shafali Verma had the run chase set up pretty well for India Women but ends up leaving her side hanging, as she gets caught at the long-on region.
Over 11.1: Omaima Sohail to Shafali Verma, FOUR! The Indian batter smashes the pitched up delivery towards the mid wicket region for a boundary.
Harmanpreet Kaur's side needs 56 more to win from 60 deliveries, and if they manage to not lose wickets, this can be a smooth chase and result in the side's first win of the tournament.
Over 7.1: Tuba Hassan to Shafali Verma, FOUR! Finally, some relief for the Indian dugout as they score their first boundary of the innings. A short-pitched delivery dispatched towards the square leg region for a one-bounce four.
India Women are 25/1 after 6 overs as Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues are at the crease.
Over 4.3: Sadia Iqbal to Smriti Mandhana, OUT! Another failure for the star batter who once again throws away her wicket in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024. Smriti's knock ends for 7 off 16.
Over 2.3: Fatima Sana to Shafali Verma, FIVE WIDES, The bluff from Pakistan Women hits them back as an UNO-REVERSE card, as Fatima Sana, before the ball, called the third man up and tried to bluff the Indian batter by bowling wide on the off-side region, but ends up bowling a sloppy delivery.
Over 0.5: Fatima Sana to Shafali Verma, OUT, LBW, but the Indian opener reviews immediately. Pitching in-line, impact in-line, wickets MISSING, OH WHAT A RELIEF FOR THE INDIAN SUPPORTERS.
A boundary on the last ball to finish off the first innings, Arundhati Reddy concedes 8 runs off her last over to finish with the figures of 3/19 in her 4 overs. India Women need 106 to win their first match of the tournament.

Over 19.3: Arundhati Reddy to Nida Dar, HUGE LBW APPEAL, NOT OUT, India Women take the review, no bat involved, pitching in-line, impact 'umpires call', wickets hitting, Nida Dar survives.
After 19 overs, Pakistan are 97/7, and Shreyanka Patil records the figures of 2/12 in her 4 overs, which includes a wicket-maiden over.
Over 17.1: Deepti Sharma to Syeda Shah, FOUR! A chipped effort over the mid off region, and Pakistan Women finally gather some relief.
Over 14.5: Shreyanka Patil to Tuba Hassan, OUT! Another wicket for Shreyanka Patil, another catch for Shafali Verma, another wicket for India Women, as they are putting in a stellar performance with the ball.
Over 13.6: Asha Shobana to Fatima Sana, OUT! A stunning catch from Richa Ghosh as she dives to her right and stretches her one hand to take a world-class catch. Fatima Sana departs for 13 off 8 and Pakistan are 70/6.
Over 13.5: Asha Shobana to Fatima Sana, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries for Pakistan Women skipper. Asha Shobana is having a forgettable day and Fatima Sana is leading her side from the front.
Over 12.3: Arundhati Reddy to Fatima Sana, DROPPED! OH MAN! Once again it's Asha Shobana, and once again.... Arundhati Reddy remains unlucky. Another sitter dropped by India Women leg-spinner. That's absolutely unacceptable level of fielding at this level.
Over 12.1: Arundhati Reddy to Aliya Riaz, HUGE LBW APPEAL! OUT! Aliya reviews it immediately. Seems to be no bat involved, clear gap, pitching in-line, impact in-line, wickets 'umpires call', and Aliya Riaz makes her way back into the dugout. Pakistan Women retain their review, but are now 52/5.
Over 10.6: Renuka Thakur to Nida Dar, FOUR! Ordinary ball from the India Women pacer who bowls a full toss on the pads, and the Pakistan Women batter smashes it towards the fine leg region for a boundary.
Over 10.4: Renuka Thakur to Nida Dar, 1 run, finally a run for Pakistan Women as Nida Dar knocks the ball towards the long on region for a single.
Over 10.3: Renuka Thakur to Nida Dar, DOT BALL, Pakistan Women are under huge pressure as they have now played 12 consecutive dot balls and pressure is constantly mounting on them.
Over 9.6: Shreyanka Patil to Aliya Riaz, DOT BALL, absolutely sensational from the Indian leg spinner, as she bowls a wicket-maiden over. Pakistan are 41/4 after 10 overs, and might get folded for a total less than 100.
Over 9.3: Shreyanka Patil to Muneeba Ali, OUT! STUMPED! Pressure gets the better of the Pakistan Women opener, who was searching for quick runs, and in her quest for boundaries, she steps down but completely misses the ball, as a good piece of work at the stumps from Richa Ghosh forces her dismissal. Muneeba Ali departs for 17 off 26, and Pakistan are 41/4.
Over 8.3: Asha Shobana to Nida Dar, 2 runs, another double for the Pakistan Women legend as she runs hard to keep the scoreboard ticking.
Brilliant stuff from Deepti Sharma, who's keeping it tight, and her figures in the match so far are 1/14 in 3 overs.
Over 6.5: Arundhati Reddy to Omaima Sohail, OUT! Easy catch for Shafali Verma. No error this time from India Women as the Indian opener takes a routine catch at the mid off region, and with that, Omaima Sohail departs for 3 off 6 deliveries.
Over 6.2: Arundhati Reddy to Muneeba Ali, IN THE AIR! OH NO! How did Asha Shobana manage to bottle such an easy take? India Women have once again produced a sloppy piece of fielding effort as Muneeba Ali survives after a failed scoop towards the short fine leg
Over 5.6: A single to finish off the over. Shreyanka Patil concedes only 4 runs off the last over of the powerplay, and Pakistan Women are 29/2 after 6 overs.
Over 4.5: Deepti Sharma to Sidra Ameen, OUT! BOWLED, very unfortunate for the Pakistan Women batter as the ball rolls over to stumps and is now absolutely livid with the manner of her dismissal. Huge wicket for Deepti Sharma who opens her account for this year's edition.

Over 4.1: Deepti Sharma to Sidra Ameen, NO NO NO! Ahh, that's sloppy, 'wides+double' for Pakistan Women as the Indian spinner bowls down the leg and Richa Ghosh fails to gather the ball.
Over 3.6: After conceding 12 runs in the previous over, India Women reply back with a one-run over, as Arundhati Reddy bowls a sensational first over.
Over 3.3: Arundhati Reddy to Sidra Ameen, HUGE APPEAL! LBW shout, but the umpire looks disinterested and signals a run.
Over 2.6: Renuka Singh Thakur to Muneeba Ali, FOUR! Expensive over from the India Women pacer as Muneeba Ali gathers much-needed momentum for Pakistan Women.
Over 2.4: Renuka Singh Thakur's ball clearly flicks off the thigh pad of Muneeba Ali, but the umpire signals a 'wide+double'. Remember, ICC tournaments don't have wide reviews, so India Women cannot challenge the decision.
Over 2.2: FOUR! Muneeba Ali smashes Renuka Singh for a lofted shot over the long-off region.
Pakistan Women are 5/1 after 2 overs, as the Indian bowlers are keeping it tight with good line and length.

On the other hand are Pakistan who faced a comfortable win against Sri Lanka in their opening game in the competition. Having said that, they would be wary of the fact that they have not done well against this opposition especially in World Cup cricket.
India have won five out of the seven matches that they have played against Pakistan in the T20 World Cups. Pakistan might have come out on top two times but have not defeated India since 2016 edition of the marquee event. India have had the dominant record over Pakistan in T20s overall as well with the Women in Blue winning 12 out of 15 matches.
With a confident Pakistan led by Fatima Sana up against a determined India captained by Harmanpreet Kaur at the Dubai International Stadium this Sunday (October 6), it promises to be a humdinger of a clash.
Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat first against India.
