Women’s T20 Asia Cup 2024: Most Runs and Most Wickets after India Women vs Pakistan Women (Updated) ft. Smriti Mandhana and Kavisha Egodage

The Women’s T20 Asia Cup 2024 kicked off on July 19 with two Group A fixtures at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. While Nepal Women stunned their UAE counterparts in the opening match of the tournament, Team India blanked arch-rivals Pakistan in the second match of the doubleheader.

Batting first, UAE’s line-up was restricted to 115/8 from 20 overs courtesy of a sublime three-wicket haul from Indu Barma. Khushi Sharma top-scored in the innings with 36 and Kavisha Egodage’s 22 turned out to be the next biggest benefactor of UAE’s mere 115-run total.

Chasing 116 for a win, it took Nepal Women just 16.1 overs to mow down their target. Opener Samjhana Khadka belted a match-winning 72* from 45 balls to successfully negotiate Kavisha Egodage’s threatening three-fer.

In the second match of the day, Indian bowlers Deepti Sharma (3/20), Renuka Singh (2/14), Shreyanka Patil (2/14) and Pooja Vastrakar (2/31) collectively enveloped Pakistan Women for just 108 in less than 20 overs.

In response, opening batters Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana struck identical 40s at the top in their 85-run stand to orchestrate a seven-wicket Indian win with nearly six overs to spare.
