Harmanpreet Kaur's India women were handed a 13-run defeat by Pakistan in their Women's Asia Cup T20I match on Friday (October 7). Nidar Dar struck an entertaining fifty to push Pakistan to 137 for 6 after skipper Bismah Mahroof opted to bat.
In reply, the Indian batters failed to stitch a meaningful partnership and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Teenager Richa Ghosh tried to inspire a late fightback but couldn't go the distance as India were bowled out for 124 in 19.4 overs.
