Pakistan had a satisafctory PowerPlay but India picked a few quick wickets to reduce them to 68/4 in the 13th over. It looked like reaching 130 would be a tough ask, but Ayesha Naseem came out with great intent and played some sizzling shots. Bismah Maroof let her be the chief aggressor as Ayesha put massive pressure on Renuka Thakur Singh. Pakistan scored 58 runs in the last 5 overs to post 149, their highest total in World Cups and best against India too.
