India vs Pakistan, ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 Live Score Updates: Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma Revive India After Slow Start | Cricket News
India vs Pakistan, Women’s World Cup 2022, live score and updates: India have picked themselves up immensely well with Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma shouldering the responsibility with a brilliant unbeaten 50-run stand for the second wicket. Earlier, India lost the key wicket of Shafali Verma early-on in the match after skipper Mithali Raj won the toss and decided to bat against Pakistan in their opening fixture of the ongoing Women’s World Cup 2022 at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. India will be aiming to put on a good show against arch-rivals Pakistan and get their campaign off to a winning start. The Indian women’s cricket team will hope its bowlers find top form to complement a solid batting unit’s efforts. Runners-up in the 2017 and 2005 editions, India are eager to go one step ahead and claim the title that has eluded them, especially skipper Mithali Raj and veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami, who are playing their last World Cup. A lot will depend on the start that the Indian team gets from its power-packed opening duo of Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Mithali Raj at the toss, “We’ll bat. It’s a good wicket to bat. put up a big total and put pressure on them. We’re going with three seamers and three spinners. We want to go into the tournament with a clean slate, take some momentum from the last game which we won against New Zealand. The hunger to do well in WCs has kept me going.”
Bismah Maroof at the toss, “We wanted to bowl first, we now need to restrict them. We are going into the match with five bowlers. We have had a good warm-up, so we need to continue playing like that. I’m blessed to be back doing what I love, and getting some real support from the entire team.”
