Women’s T20 marked its debut at the Commonwealth games 2022 and India registered its first win against Pakistan in their second encounter in the series. More than 1.5 million tickets were sold, and emotions were running high on both sides. With a victory by eight wickets, India gained its first points on the board. Harmanpreet Singh has captained India in 71 T20Is, winning 42 of them.
She surpassed Dhoni’s record of 41 T20I victories, which he achieved in 72 games. Mithali Raj is the closest to Harmanpreet on the list of most wins among India Women’s National Cricket Team captains, having won 17 T20I games as captain. Her total ranks third among women’s T20I captains, behind Charlotte Edwards (68) and Meg Lanning (64). Dhoni had 41 victories to his credit followed by former captain Virat Kohli with 31 and current skipper Rohit Sharma follow him with 27 victories to their credit.
Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first. However, their decision backfired as their batters failed to add runs on the board. Wickets fell at regular intervals, and the team fell short of a strong partnership, finishing with a total of 99. In contrast, India’s chase was amazing. Smriti Mandhana, who was leading the chase with a score of 63 not out off 42 balls, flaunted her strokes to score a splendid unbeaten fifty. Cameos from Shafali Verma and Sabbhineni Meghana helped India comfortably chase the target. They were able to reach the target of 100 in less than 12 overs, giving them a significant advantage in the points standings. India is seeded second to Australia in Pool A, where the top two teams advance to the knock-out semi-finals. Their next match is against Barbados on August 3rd, which is also a must-win game for Harmanpreet and co.
