Riding on pacer Kranti Goud’s impressive 3-20 (off 10 overs), Harleen Deol’s composed 46-run knock and Richa Ghosh’s spirited late cameo of 35 not out, India beat Pakistan by 88 runs to register their second consecutive victory at the ICC Women’s World Cup on Sunday.
The win ensured India maintained their 100 per cent record against arch-rivals Pakistan in ODIs, winning all 12 matches between the two sides till date. India reached a respectable 247 after their batters struggled to get going on a slow track. In reply, Pakistan were bowled out for 159 in 43 overs.
