Reddy strikes; Pakistan in trouble

October 06, 2024

Pak 34-3 (7 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Off-spinner Shreyanka Patil comes into the attack. Muneeba defends the first ball before she chips the next ball inside out over the off-side for a couple of runs.

Muneeba clips the fourth ball towards midwicket for one and Omaima Sohail clips the last ball off her pads for a single.

This has been a slow start for Pakistan, who struggle to 29/2 in six overs of the Powerplay.

Muneeba has made 14 from 18 balls as India's disciplined bowling has made life difficult for Pakistan's batters.

Pacer Reddy is back into the attack. The first ball swings a bit as Omaima swings across the line with the ball going off the inside half towards fine leg for a single.

Muneeba, on 14, gets a lifeline as Asha Sobhana puts down a simple catch at short fine leg.

Left-hander Muneeba walks across and plays the scoop straight into the hands of Sobhana at short fine leg, who puts down an easy catch. That could prove costly for the Indians.

However, Reddy strikes a few balls later. Omaima looks to loft the pacer down the ground but hits it straight to Shafali Verma at mid-off to perish for three.

Pakistan in trouble on 34/3 in seven overs.
