Dec 5: Indian women dominate again at the Women’s T20 Asia Cup Finals at the Asian Institute of Technology ground at Bangkok, after picking their 2nd consecutive Asia Cup.

It’s said; every Indo-Pak match is cricketing charity. This was one too. Indian women beat Pakistan by 17 runs in the Asia cup final.

The Indian innings went down at 121 for 5 wickets with captain Mithali Raj scoring 73 in 65 deliveries. Pakistani bowlers Amin took two wickets while Sana and Sadia’s had 1 each. However the average bowling standard of Pakistan gave India and especially Mithali a way-out to make India reach 121.

Later the batting innings of Pakistan was quite perturbing as wickets fell on quick and in the end with a shortage of 17 runs Pakistan lost the cup to India.

Indian bowlers did a great job; with Ekta taking 2 wickets while Patil, Jhulan, Preeti and Sikha took one each. Mithali Raj was awarded the Player of the Match and Player of the Series.

Earlier, Indian women won the last Asia cup in 2012-13. India’s win in the tournament was a massive blast. India won all the six matches in the tournament and is bringing the trophy home.
