Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar congratulated Team India for their `brilliant win` over Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Women`s 50-over World Cup here at the Bay Oval on Sunday.

Fighting knocks of Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar were backed up by all-round bowling performance as India defeated Pakistan by 107 runs in the fourth game of the ongoing ICC Women`s 50-over World Cup.

"Brilliant win for #TeamIndia! The partnership between Sneh and Pooja got us back in the game when we were 114/6. The best thing the two did was to rotate strike smartly and convert 2s into 3s and didn`t miss out on putting loose deliveries away. Their mindset helped us win," tweeted Sachin.

Meanwhile, Youth Affairs and Sports Minister Anurag Singh Thakur also took to his Twitter and wrote, "#TeamIndia WIN !!! Superb performance & spectacular start to the World Cup! Congratulations Team, well done!"

I liked it when our spinners bowled slowly. The slower they bowled the more difficult it got.
Hoping they continue to do the same in the rest of the matches. #CWC22 — Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) March 6, 2022

What a spectacular performance by the Indian girls against Pakistan.
That was a thrashing, and in grand style.
